I really love all of the SM Caryssa heels. I bought these as well as the patent leather nude pair and they are so fabulous. The design of the shoe is gorgeous and looks like it cost a couple hundred bucks at least. I do suggest going down a half size... I bought the nude in 8 and they actually fit a little better than the 8.5. The large platform in front makes them very manageable to walk in and quite comfortable. Now, don't go shopping for 4 hours in them, but you know what I mean - as comfortable as a massive heel can be lol. They are definitely a staple in any girls wardrobe!
