I was looking for a nice wedge with a peep toe to show off my summer pedicure but still be comfortable and work appropriate. These looked perfect in the pictures, but when I tried them on I realized I couldn't keep them. If I'm going to spend $250 on a pair of shoes the main thing I want is for them to be comfortable enough to use everyday. Maybe these shoes would have gotten there, but the anticipation of blisters and the tight fit (I wear a 6.5M in most brands, so these definitely run narrow) made them non-keepers. Also, I was expecting that the shoes were just black leather, but it is black patent leather, and I wasn't thrilled with the shine.
