I bought these to wear to my own 50th birthday party and they went perfectly with the dress I wore! They are comfy to start off with but I wouldn't recommend going on a long walk in them or standing on your feet all day. They are pretty true to size and if they give a little I will just get a heel pad for them. Everyone loved them including a few of the men! I have no less than 4 friends who asked for the website address so they can look at them as well. Amazon will wonder why they are shipping so many pairs to Australia at this rate. Lovely dress shoe which would go with capri pants, jeans or a nice dress. The only criticism I have is that I bought them on endless.com before it changed over and they were half the advertised price they are now.
