Dolce Vitas

Dolce Vitas are amazing! They are usually made a size bigger, so for example I wear a 7.5 usually and would have to get a size 7 in Dolce Vitas. They are very narrow so if you have wide feet you need to break them in first. My suggestion is that you use the paper tissue that they stuff into the shoe and reverse it(so that the wide end is facing towards the tops), and stick that plastic stick back in to hold it in it's place. This way you save yourself the torture of having to break them in by walking or paying extra money to buy one of those plastic shoe fillers. Another trick is to get one of those mini shampoo bottles/ conditioners and just place them in the shoe (closed of course). These shoes are super snug, and haven't given me a blister yet. After buying Fossil flats (gave me many blisters, each time I wore them) and rocketdog (gave me blisters as well, plus super uncomfortable even after wearing them several times already)I ready to believe that Dolce Vitas are one of the only brands for pumps and shoes for me. PS the Fossil flats that I bought wear leather and was 7.5 and the Rocketdogs were on super sale (I believe 18 dollars), they looked comfortable online, I was completely wrong. The flats were extremely stiff and had very little to no padding on the sole of the shoes. The fabric for the flats were made with some kind of rough material, to make it worst it rubs again your ankles. So if you have sensitive skin, be prepared with bandaids! Cheap yes, but in the long run I think Dolce Vitas are a better investment. Updated news: DV which is the lower ending brand of Dolce Vita goes by actual size, same with their pumps because they are tight.
