Well, they fit just right. I have pointy-er boots from L'artiste and I sized up, these are perfect in my normal size.The outside is a soft suede with metallic decoration painted on the toe and heel and then other kind of paint on the rest of the shoe. The inside of the bootie has moderate cushion and is medium wide in the toe box so lot of wiggle room.They are glorious in the right light and I expect compliments
