I saw the black patent w/ the gold platform 4" heel at Saks in Atlanta yesterday. (I'm not sure how they had them because they weren't even available at the Gucci boutique and I have only seen them for pre-order). They did run true to size, but imo, they did not look as good in person as they did in the pics. The toe has a very strange point to them and the platform looks like it would scuff up pretty easily. I actually had them pre-ordered through NM.com because I loved them, but irl they looked very "stripper". I actually liked the crepe soled ones better- they were a little more comfortable to me.
