I have worn these shoes probably 10 times since I got them recently. The first time I put them on, they felt really good. Well, except the "peep" part of the peep toe, but that's an area that's always getting rubbed wrong when I wear that style of shoe.  After the first 3-4 times, they got more comfy in that area. Other than that, they are totally ouchless. I have very medium width feet. Also, I sometimes need a 6.5 for length, but these were perfect in the size 6, so they run a little long. They do make a person a LOT taller. I'm 5'1", but when I wear these, more like 5'5"! Which is fun sometimes.  Also, red is a fabulous color to go with all of the Navy/Nautical themed navy blue clothes out there this year/season. The paisley art on the wedge is fun, too. The patent leather seems to be of good quality. The buckle is very secure. They are not overly-heavy or clunky. The wedge is nice, too- its not so small on the bottom that you wiggle around in them or fear you will break an ankle mid-wobble. There is NO wobble. Im not sure if anyone else considers the wobble aspect of the wedge, but I do. I can walk on any terrain in these-from the gravel parking lot (usually TREACHEROUS to attempt in heels), to walking city sidewalks, carpeting, stairs and even the dirt of my garden. Wearing red shoes is really a good thing to do for yourself. They make you feel a little sassy. These are true red but in NO way are they tacky or cheap. I plan on having these for a LONG time. The style won't go out any time soon.
