My daughter really likes slides, and owns a few pairs of Onex which are all very comfortable. She needed a dressy sandal and this was just perfect. She liked its appearance right out of the box, and felt they were very comfortable. We really love this brand!

This shoe is gorgeous! I fell in love online and since I already own more than ten pairs of Onex, I knew it was going to fit fabulously. The cut out is so unique, and the platform wedge is silver. The sparkles are even on the back of the heel! These will definitely get noticed whether at work or a special occasion!

Bought these shoes in Zebra and Red. Follow advise to go up one size! Fabulous shoe! Everywhere I go get compliments/comments. Perfect comfort as always with Onex.

Onex run small, so I always know to buy 1/2 size larger. The "Tess" are as comfortable as all the other Onex. They are fun to wear. Flashy and fun!

Cute and comfortable. I have been looking for a short, comfortable suede boot that wasn't frumpy for quite some time. I really like these. However, I have narrow heels, and have slippage, but no blisters. I will just use an insole/orthotic and I'll be good to go.

I really wanted these boots to work because they're so cute. Gorgeous color, perfect heel height, etc. But the toe area seems to run slightly narrow (though this is common in boots), while the heel runs very, very wide. The upside to this is that the ankle/low calf is plenty wide, for those who may get swollen ankles. But it makes it hard to walk with my heel always slipping up. Tried using my cushiony insoles, but my heel just slipped more. Sadly, they are going back to Zappos for someone else to try.

I just received these boots and I really love them. The toe is roomy with very solid construction. The sole is thick to keep my foot away from puddles. They are beautifully made. They were a little snug around the middle, but have molded to my foot well as good leather does. I wear my jeans over my boots, so they will look great, and the color is beautiful. Fantastic! I highly recommend.

Well, this is the second pair I ordered. The first was in my size of 8.5. It was too tight, so I ordered up half a size... thinking it would fit. I could get it on, but the toe bed was very tight and my heel kept lifting up like either the heel area was too wide or something. I am so disappointed. These boots are such a lovely color, great manufacturing and perfect heel height.

I'm usually a 7.5, but the 7.5 was definitely too large. There was room in the toe, and my heel slipped. Nice style and color, but I had to return them.

From the previous three reviews I read, I ordered this boot to fit my new size "9" foot. For years I wore and 8.5 but now manufacturers seem to be making my size in a 9... who knew? So I ordered a 9 and was disappointed because I really needed an 8.5. The boot looks fantastic - I would recommend them anyway. Just be careful on the size.

This boot is super cute for fall, but I was really disappointed with the sizing. I purchased the 7.5 because that's what typically works for me, but they were too small and extremely narrow. I definitely regret not sending them back right away for a size larger. My feet are in a lot of pain when I wear them, but I'm hoping that they will feel more comfortable after I have them broken-in. Even if I would have gone with a size 8 or 8.5, I still think the boot would have been too narrow. I don't have especially wide feet either. Sad.
