My new to me Pigalle Follies 100 in Black Suede

Also, I’ve always been told that CLs run small and to size up but I wear a 35.5 in all my CLs and almost every other heel I own. I’ve also been told that his shoes would not work for me as I have a slightly wide foot, but none feel narrow on my foot. Some have a very tiny gap in the back as you can see with these Pigalles but they don’t pop off or feel big. I think a 35 would be too tight around the toe box so I’m sticking with 35.5, but wouldn’t this mean they run big??

So, what’s the deal with literally everyone and their mother telling me they run super small? I’m glad I didn’t listen to their advice because I would be swimming in all of them! Somebody please tell me I’m not crazy for thinking they run TTS or even a little big.

My personal observation is certain styles and materials CAN run big. Ive found 120mm pairs run true, however some 100mm styles such as your follies in suede run big and do stretch a fair bit with frequent use! Those look great but i think a 35 would look better on you, and will show more toe cleavage (my preference!)

@pbjilly In the earlier days of CLs, the cuts ran a lot smaller/narrower. However, in recent years, they are running more TTS. Black suede PF look like a classic workhorse that you can get a lot of wear out of. I agree with the previous poster that 35 would look better on you since suede tends to stretch a lot. But, if they aren't loose on you or popping off and you're taking into account swelling that can occur you should be okay.
