These were not the Pleaser brand, but Fabulicious. I was concerned about these shoes since I've purchased Pleasers in the past for costumes and they've been crappy and uncomfortable to walk/stand in for any long period of time, but these were nothing like Pleasers of the past. These are much better made, the soles have quite a bit more cushion, and the shape of the toe box doesn't cut into my feet in any weird way. Out of the box, they're really quite comfortable, and won't require breaking in (because who really has time to break in shoes for a costume, anyway?) The pink is very pretty and true to the picture.
