I purchased these shoes in May thinking of the early summer celebrations coming in June. These great shoes have now gone to 2 weddings, 3 graduations from various grades, a couple of nights out and even a tea in the afternoon.  They're mostly for slightly and very dressy occasions (standing for a long time) and the important thing to me is comfort first, then good looks!  These shoes passed with flying colors.  Speaking of colors, I wish they came in more colors because they're very classy and the heel is neat.  A great buy on special, attractive, comfortable shoes.
