Joyfolie melia in stone size 8.5

These are the most gorgeous shoes. I've worn them maybe 3 times. They are just a bit too high for me. The heel pieces have been professionally attached. They fell off at one point. Some wear see photos. I'm between an 8.5 and a 9 and have sized down with these. They fit well but I almost wonder if I could've gone down another half size. These are a stone taupe color. 4.25 in heel height approx. Kitten friendly home
