Wow these are great! I bought a pair in black because they were marked down - not that the price is outrageously high to begin with. These are so stylish and fun. I ordered my usual size 8 and they are TTS. They fit perfectly right out of the box and I wore them for about 5 hours straight without having to break them in. Even though these are "manmade" they look like real suede and seem very well made. They hug your foot and feel sturdy and solid, without being too heavy. The heel is quite high but well balanced and easy to wear. The bottom is slightly curved in the front, so you kind of "roll off of your toes" when you walk.  I got tons of complements on these too. I will definitely be buying more pairs in purple, maybe red. Very happy with this purchase!
