I really want these in white but I have really narrow feet and I tried these in store and they felt like my feet were sliding back in them and they weren’t secure. I don’t know if my feet are too narrow for them. I don’t want to buy them and wear them out and they feel like they’re falling off my feet. Is this normal?
It might take a bit getting your footing just so... because there is no backing and there's nothing for your toes to grip and hold on to like thong sandals, you have to wear them and work them. One time I was walking and actually kicked one of my sandals off and they went flying... now I know how to walk in them... good thing they didn't wind up in the sewer of NYC. lol

Hey ladies! I have got world’s weirdest feet with the left one half a size shorter than the right one. I guess it’s better to go after the bigger foot in my situation (it’s 38.5)? I usually do it in open back shoes in order to avoid toe overhang situation ..

re honeybunch, I am a fan of gucci shoes but find they (And Prada and YSL) run larger and wider than chanel, louboutin, valentino, Manolo etc. it sounds like the mule is too voluminous (in other words, it’s made for a higher volume foot). I’m not an expert, that I find that a tongue pad placed on the inner top of the shoe helps keep your foot from moving and works better than a ball of the foot insole.

re Elena S, re the length of the gucci shoe, if it’s open toe sandal or a closed toe mule, it seems to be that these days, people prefer to go up a size to have more room in the front and back. I wear a 37 in the loafer but a 37.5 in Gucci open toe sandals or the mules.

Hi! Seeking for help here! I am very reluctant of getting my size in a Gucci princeton mules. I might get a wrong size again like what had happened to me in my Oran sandals which I am size 39.Finally I got the right size for me andit fits me perfectly comfortable! Is the Gucci princeton mules and Oran sandals are the same in sizing? Hope to hear your thoughts! Thanks in advance!!!

Princetown mules are TTS but if I were you, I would go half a size bigger to allow for foot swelling as the day goes on. Also, in the summer, your foot swells as well so I've always gone a half size larger for a comfier fit.
