Classy, sassy shoes. I gets loads of compliments when I wear them. They're stable for the height and gave me no trouble when I wore them through an entire day of wedding activities.

I love this very stylish shoe that fits well and is very comfortable. I got it in the caramel color and particularly like its rather unusually shaped heel. The strap provides addition support. I normally wear a size 7 but it wasn't available so I ordered a 7.5 just to see. It fit perfectly so it must be running small. I am tempted to also get the cherry color.

Cutest shoes ever!! I love these and the heel is not so high that your feet are killing by the end of the day! The style of the heel is really adorable!! I usually wear a 5.5 but the 6 was perfect.

OMG These are just soooo cute!!! I wear a 5.5 or a 6 and I ordered the 6 because they don't have the 5.5. They are a bit big but will work perfectly if I put some heel guards in the back. These are just so cute in person and they are comfortable too. I really love them. Some people have said that they have a narrow toe box but I don't feel that, however I loooove pointy shoes so perhaps I am used to a more narrow toe box?

When I first saw these shoes, I knew that I had to have them. The color is just as it is shown in the pictures and the printed leather makes the shoes look expensive. They are good quality for the price. They are sharp shoe for skirts and pants.

The front is surprisingly a little narrow. I was a bit shocked because I never usually have that problem. I can walk in it all day but cannot wear it 2 days straight. Would still recommend though because it is a pretty shoe.

Beautiful shoe! Toe box is quite narrow, so had to go up 1/2 size. Now perfect! Have gotten lots of compliments!

I like the unique style of these shoes, but my usual 8.5 was very uncomfortable. I am re-ordering in a 9 and hoping that will solve my issues.

I love the style of these shoes, but neither my usual 8.5 nor the 9 fit well. In the bigger size, my toes still felt squished and very uncomfortable... So, sadly I'm returning them.

I love these! I can finally wear sneakers in the winter and stay warm. They are so cute and fun and different than what is out there. They look adorable with leggings or skinny jeans and the gray color works with just about everything. They are very comfortable and are great to wear all day long. They are a great find.

I absolutely love the look of these shoes. They are very hip and look great with skinny pants or boot cut. Unfortunately, they had an extremely narrow fit and that is coming from someone who often wears narrow shoes to begin with. I wear 8½ or 9 normally and ordered these in a 9. With thin socks, I did not have any space in the toebox. I am going to order the next size up and hope they work better because I adore the appearance.
