Cute Women's Shoes Size 9

EDIT: Scroll to bottom for the latest. Two of these have been sold. — Ellen




I'm selling each of these shoes for $10 each. We can work out shipping later if that's OK.

I have three pairs of shoes that, while darling, don't fit my lovely feet to my exacting standards. The problem is I sometimes wear a 9, sometimes 9.5, and occasionally I get overzealous and buy a shoe that's actually a little too big for me.

Such is the case with our first shoe, a Kenneth Cole Reaction spectator pump wedge heel mary jane. Say that three times fast!



The shoes are marked 9, but I swear they a 9.5. I put some little thingies in the heel, but alas they still slip.




Let me know if you want to see more photos.

Next up, a brown Bandalino sling back square toe pump in croc-embossed leather. Size 9.



These have been worn a few times, but are by no means worn out. They have a low heel and look great with slacks and skirts alike.

Finally, an Anne Klein adorable long-toe pump. I love these shoes. LOVE THEM. I was married them! However, they are far too narrow for my feet and I die every time I put them on.



I wear a B width and most shoes fit me fine. These are not marked narrow, but if you can take a more narrow shoe, you can probably wear this one. If you normally take a narrow, I don't know what to tell you; I have no experience with having narrow feet. I'm just trying to say that they are narrow on me, not that they are "narrow" in the strictest sense.

Make sense?



They also have an interesting triangular heel. They are a size 9.

I think you can see the heel in this shot:

Here's another photo of the Kenneth Cole Reaction wedges. They have a nice secure rubber sole which will keep you grounded for the height of the heel, and the wedge nips sharply in for a unique profile.

I had planned to wear these with both short and long, black skirts and tights. Sigh. But it was not to be. But you can!

I'll take the first and third pair - I don't have enough heel bump to prevent the sling backs from slipping. Will send you a PM with details.

Thanks!

Bumpitty boo.

Shoe mavens, the Bandalino sling-back square-toe pump is still available. Get it while it's hot! Er, lukewarm.

You don't live in Central Texas, do you? (That third pair looks exactly like what a woman at my uncle's funeral that was wearing, down to the fit.)

Ha! No, not close to Texas at all. And I haven't worn the shoes in a year or so. Maybe straykat was at your uncle's funeral — she bought them!

God, those are really gorgeous shoes Ellen. I kept scrolling and waiting to get mad at the person who bought the Bandalinos. And they're still not sold! I wish I could fit into a 9 but I'm a solid 8. Urgh. Whoever gets them is super lucky.
