I purchased (and returned) about 6 pairs of silver shoes. This was the one I kept. I wore it all night to a wedding - standing & dancing - and my feet were comfy. Wow! I normally pretty much only wear Danskos - so I know what comfort is. The shoes were also very attractive. The lines of the style look lovely on your foot and have an overall slender look. I wanted a quality shoe and thought I wanted (silver) leather. Come to find out that the satin in this shoe looks MUCH classier than the silver-dyed leather shoes I tried (those looked like plastic pleather, quite frankly). Heel height was perfect and easy to walk in sturdily. I purchased gel pads for the balls of my feet just in case (told you I am REALLY into comfort). The inserts didn't fit so don't bother. The shoes were really okay without them anyway.
