Very comfortable for a high heel. After dancing most of the night I had to take them off but they lasted more than any other heel I have ever worn.

They just came in the mail so I went ahead an tried them on. They look fantastic! bought them in a 9 because that's what I usually order heels in, even though my regular shoe size is 8.5. They fit great. They're comfortable, as in I had them on for five minutes and I didn't feel any areas of rubbing that would cause a blister. They're 3 inch heels which should make their comfortability last longer than shoes with higher heels. The metallic is shiny as shown in the photo, which was exactly what I was looking for. If my feelings about the shoes changes after wearing them to a wedding then I will update this review.

I purchased these shoes to wear with a navy dress for a wedding in October. I love the color and they seem comfy. A keeper!

I bought this pair in gold with my upcoming wedding in mind. I was truly on the fence with these. First, they are comfortable. I wore them for an hour around my house. I had no pain, nor any blisters. My toes felt great. They fit really well. On the other hand, the gold material was too shiny for my liking. It is exactly as pictured though. I did not like returning these.

I'm glad I ignored the negative reviews of this shoe! I decided to trust my own judgment and order my regular size and they fit great! I have a slightly wide foot -- not so wide that I have to order wide width shoes, but wide enough that particularly narrow shoes really pinch my feet. These didn't do that. I've received lots of compliments on them, and they're just as cute as the $200 pair I was eyeing, but for a lot less. They don't have any arch support or anything like that, but I wasn't expecting it. All in all, I say this is a good purchase.

Great shoe! Was concerned when I read reviews about sizing problems but I wear an 8 and my foot is pretty much narrow although because of availability I usually get medium width flats, size is right on and shoes a adorable, little more on loafer style than a ballet flat but they are perfect with pants, tights or leggings. Would highly recommend them!

These shoes fit weird. They're super comfortable but the asymmetrical cut makes them a hard fit. I still wear them though...

I love the style of these shoes but sadly I have to return them. They are too narrow and seem about 1/2-size too small. Normally I would try again with a size up, but they way these shoes squeeze my feet around the toes, I just don't think the right size would make it any better. Bummer!

I really love these shoes, they're adorable...but I have to send them back (not happy!). I typically wear a size 6.5 but I ordered the size 7 since they didn't have any left in the 6.5. Well, these size 7 shoes are too small. My toes are wedged against the front of the toe box. I'm so disappointed! I have never worn a 7.5 in my life but I think that's what I'd need for these to fit right. Unfortunately they are out of stock in 7.5 as well.

This is my 2nd post about these shoes. I had ordered size 7 (normally wear 6.5 but they were out of stock). The 7 was too tight in the toe box and rubbed at the heel so I returned them and ordered 7.5 (a size I have never worn before). Received them today and they are huge...falling off my feet. I'm so bummed...I REALLY like these shoes. Can't imagine what the problem is. I am tempted to order the 7s again to see if maybe the first pair I received was sized incorrectly but another poster said they seemed to run small for her too. :(
