I get a lot of my shoes from Zappos.
I ordered some unbearably beautiful booties (suede) from them which came today. They are just a *bit* too wide (I have narrow feet), and just a *bit* too high in the heel for long wear.
Should I keep them (trying to make adjustments in the usual way with moleskin, gel insoles, etc.), or return them?
Ordinarily, I'd have less of a problem deciding, but they are SO beautiful.
I know some of you understand.

Ladies, the size is not a problem; it's the WIDTH. They don't make them in Narrow.

WOW!, so many excellent answers!
Here's a picture of the famous booties:

Dr. Scholl's makes a great gel pad that goes in the high heel that can't be seen even if they are open toed.
I bought them, and they make your foot "grip" the shoe. Plus my narrow feet filled the shoes better. As for the pain... take Motrin before putting them on. Keep the dose going during the time you wear them. If you wear them enough, you might get used to them after a while. Also do some calf building exercises because a stronger leg works a high heeled shoe better.

HI victory,
I have the same problem with my NARROW feet. Since these are suede and, by your description, apparently have no hard soles, you might try taking them to a local shoe shop or saddlery/harness shop and see if they can make them narrower for you. After all, TRUE suede is only leather that has been softened drastically by a special process. Therefore, a shoe repair shop or the saddlery/harness shop just might be able to "remake" the shoes a custom fit for you.
GOOD LUCK!!!
Edit: I just got a look at your boots. A GOOD shoe repair shop, or even the saddlery/harness shop, may STILL be able to alter those for you if you REALLY want to keep them that much, but it'll CO$T ya!!!
Again, GOOD LUCK!!!!! :D

even though they might be the most beautiful shoes, if they don't fit properly, you're going to be hurting in the long run. try to find a narrower size, and a shorter heel. it sucks, but you do NOT want foot problems later on in life. you could twist an ankle, break a toe, etc.

If they are uncomfortable because of those problems you should return them. I know its hard, but it the shoe doesnt fit well its going to bother you, and even with gel inserts you still may never get the perfect fit.

well you could keep them because your feet will grow and you might fight into them. but if there really a problem, then look around for the same pair, in you size, and then return them. but do it all before they can't be returned. try payless. they're a good store for shoes

It relies upon no matter if the dance is casual, or formal. So i will grant you with 2 concepts! option a million (casual): bypass for dramatic makeup because that's going to maximum probable be darkish in any case! Line your eyes with liquid eyeliner yet basically the authentic of the lid. Use manhattan unlawful length mascara in black which makes your eyelashes look very lengthy. placed on red/pink eyeshadow on your lids, and sparkling gloss on your lips. As for garments placed on a lovable floral miniskirt (with spandex shorts below) and a good setting up tanktop. placed on comfortable footwear because you'd be dancing alot! option 2 (formal): bypass for a touch organic look. word pink blush to the apples of your cheeks, chin, and forhead. placed on black mascara, and placed on a light-weight pink lip stick. For jewelery placed on a cubic zirconia studs, or a tender chained necklace. placed on your hair up and enable some strands right down to body your face. placed on a ruffly dress and white extreme heels! strong success!

i would suggest you to invest on a pair of insole replacements for ugg's boots. yes ugg's. but you can also place them into your booties, the insoles are really thick so after you place them into your boots your feet will be able fit snuggly into them :)
i also have narrow feet

I think if it's easyly returnable for a new pair then exchange them quick... but if not then deefinetly keep them! Just use adjusters!

keep them and put in inserts. You may not be able to wear them for hours a stretch but can wear them out. If you love them then keep them
