I just bought these from Amazon. I'm a little worried about them being too small but it said they run true to size. I can't find them on the Remix website. They're a great deal on Amazon right now. I got them in taupe/cedar (reddish brown). They're $80 in my size but they came out to $65 after another discount for spending $80 or more on qualifying items.

They look similar to the Gloria, which I have in sz 9. I wear a 9 or 91/2, depending on the shoe, and the 9 fits, so I would say if you bought your regular size you should be fine.
 
Acording to Remix these shoes run large but several of the ladies who have them, including me, have mentioned that they run small. I wore mine for the third time yesterday. I was on a walking tour at a local cemetary and had them on for about 1/1/2 hrs. I am still in the process of breaking them in.
Once the edge of the scallop stops pressing into my foot they will be more comfortable. I have them in an 8 which is my regular size. I have another pair of wedges that have been comfortaable from day 1. I don't think they are on the website any more. I got them on clearance about 3 yrs ago.

I just won a pair of red Glorias in a 10 on eBay. I'm excited to see if they'll be too big. I usually use a 9 or 9½ (more often 9½), but I have a wide foot, so I'm counting on them to fit... Otherwise they'll be posted in the classifieds! :)

Thanks, I wear a 9 or 9 1/2 (usually 9) and I ordered 9 so I'm hopeful that they fit :)

I don't think that it is. It would be nice if it was! I'll let you know if it turns out to be.
I guess I'll find out soon enough, since I ordered them in the olive Green. $61.00 and free shipping.
My guess is it doesn't come off, since I read a review of Gloria, where the reviewer complained that the removable bow had a tendency to remove itself, then the same person reviewed the Scroll wedges but did not mention the decoration or the clip at all.
For me, it would be nice if it came off, I have never worn the bow clip that came with the Glorias.

I just got the Picasso wedge in red and absolutely love them. They super comfy and I've been getting compliments on them all day. The red is a little darker than I thought it would be, but I don't mind. I ended up getting them through Amazon; while the price is the same as the Remix site, it came with free shipping.

OMG! I love the Glorias. I was planning on buying a pair this week, but lost my wallet at the county fair and had to cancel all my cards and freeze my checking account. Now I have to wait at least a week for all the new stuff to get here.

My ReMix Scroll wedges in olive green just came by UPS. They fit similar to Gloria but since they are suede, feel softer. The decoration is stitched on with just a couple little stitches. Since I love how they feel and otherwise look, and am not too keen on the decoration, I "fixed" that in about three seconds with a seam ripper,and only two tiny pinholes remain, but don't show much at all. I'll attach the decorations to shoe clip hardware and keep them in my jewelry box along with the bows from my Glorias in the unlikely case I want to wear them again.
I actually did wear the bows on the Glorias Saturday night, dressed up for the local Historical Society gala,(Kentucky derby theme).They helped balance my big hat.
The only drawback I can see with these shoes is the rubber sole, which is too grippy to dance in.

I just ordered the black patent Glorias from Amazon. I really wanted the brown Glorias, but they have it in a size too small and a size too big.

if I'm not mistaken, Dita was recently spotted in what looks like a lovely beige pair of L'Amour's

if only I had a spare £136 to spend, I'd go for the red Paseo's. *sigh*

I think a pink-red pair of shoes would have looked cuter with that dress, honestly. Or red shoe clips on cream shoes.

For what those shoes she's wearing cost... I don't know. I'm not as in love with the look as I usually am with Dita.

they're not the shoes I would have worn with the dress to be honest.
I've seen her looking better. She was at some music festival I think.

Heh, yeah, I think the shoes might work better with a different look. There they just kind of look washed out.

I understand wanting soles like that for on grass, though. Much easier than stilettos. It's mostly the colour I don't think works with the dress.
