Sizing on black patent Privatita at NM

Hi, I have the black patent privatita from Saks (silver heel instead of gold). It actually appears to be running a little large (must be the new sizing that some members have noted). I took it (and the red glitter version) in my simple size which is half a size less than my normal NP size.

If you can order two and return one that may be your best option.

Hope this helps.
 
The ankle strap will probably be large, it seems to be huge for some reason. I dont have especially thin ankles, but when I tried these on I would have needed about 2 holes punched to get them to fit! I didnt buy them, I decided I wouldnt wear the ankle straps, but they were SO SEXY on!
 
I have the python ones and I went with my TTS which is the same size as the architeks. I already had to have 6 holes punched into each ankle strap so the strap is really large.
