Viv flats - I ordered my normal size and they are pretty tight in the toes. I wish I had ordered a half size larger, but I am stretching them with a shoe stretcher today and hoping that will help, because of course now they are sold out :(

**Unrelated note - does anyone have a sense of when the next 20% promotion will be? I remember them usually doing one in the spring, although I know they did one about a month ago... thoughts?

I bought the Viv flats when they first came out, at the time Jcrew was running a 30% promotion off regular price items. I originally ordered a 7 and found that they were too tight in the toes as well. I am normally a 7.5 in shoes, but Jcrew shoes always seem to run big so I normally order 7. The 7.5 fit perfectly in the Viv flats.

Is it just me, or do the rest of you find that Jcrew shoes run big? I know most people agree that the clothes run big too. I guess it is vanity sizing for your feet too! :p

I recently purchased the Valentina sling backs in Heritage Green: http://www.jcrew.com/womens_special...4+20~30~~20+17+4294966925~15~~~~~~~/64499.jsp

Does anyone know how these run? I ordered a 7, but due to the pointy toes I am wondering if I needed to size up.

I hope soon! Loving the collection lately.

Ladies - can you call and get the education discount added to online purchases?

Btw, hate that I bought a dress last week and now it's on sale (50%!). glad I didn't wear it so I ordered it and will return the one I bought. Glad I looked at the sale section online!

I called Jcrew up and they said I could purchase online and then take the receipt to the store to get the education discount credited to my card. I did that and the SA got upset and said the phone rep shouldn't have instructed me to do this as it is against their policy. She gave me the discount, but warned me in the future that the education discount will not be given again unless I order from the store.

Given this I am not really sure how to advise about this!
 
Hi all, I'm debating what color to get the Tillary tote in, the canvas striped or the tan/luggage color? Is the tan like cognac colored or darker? I have the MK hamilton in luggage so I'm not sure if I want two in the same color. As for the striped- i love it but I'm not a red person so much but its so cute and def stands out. let me know what you guys think!

The tan color is a light tan with more yellow in it than red undertones, and it's not a cognac color at all.

Although I like the red one, the tan could be more versatile and it's all leather. You should evaluate your wardrobe to see, which goes better with the color scheme of your outfits.

I think it used to be, or in certain styles they run larger. But I was surprised that I had to size up in Martina Wedges. I used to wear a 6 in JCrew and 6.5 in everything else, I ended up with size 7 for Martina wedges.
