anthropologie nelumbo kitten heels fitting review

nelumbo kitten heels by miss albright from anthropologie.


















adorable. wouldn't you agree?

my thoughts:
- actual "nude" shoe for me. on most others, the shoes will be a pale, pale, blush pink.
- went half size down from my typical size with these pretties. (i am wearing a 6. for reference compared to other miss albright branded shoes, i took a 7 in the rensselaer t-straps, a 7 in the budding t-straps, 7 again in the sawtooth myrtle t-straps, and a 6.5 in the ribbon moss t-straps (they looked a bit funny on my feet, so i did not keep).
- they ran a bit wider than usual shoes, a plus for me. if you have a narrow foot, they might be too wide?
- i cannot wait to wear these with everything, from dresses, to skinny jeans, to shorts. you name it.

until next time,
S

  1. Thanks for reviewing these and comparing the sizes to other shoes! I love the color and the floral appliques, but I'm torn because I hate kitten heels. Do they feel very sturdy?

  2. lc - they are not very sturdy. i pride myself on being able to walk in all sorts of shoes, but the kitten heel on these is a bit skinny for how high it is, making them more tippy than most. does that make sense? it could also be that i am used to wearing chunky heels/boots all winter long and i haven't built up my heel stamina. :) either way, they are not as sturdy as other kitten heels i own.

  4. anytime! i really like them and feel like they will be perfect for spring and summer. i do think they run large though, so size down half to one full size.
