I have these in the embossed black-white snake print suede, and purchased them in the size I typically wear in Sam Edelman shoes. They are very sexy and the open-toe is not constricting, the toe box provides ample space for toes and the materials make the shoe cool and comfortable for long term wear. The heel is very stable thanks to the wide base.

The shape of the platform takes a little getting used to if you're not used to wearing higher heels that also have a platform, and the only fit issue I personally encountered was having my heels slip out but I have narrow heels and routinely have this problem with pumps (easily solved with heel inserts).

The sculpted heel is similar to some Prada pumps from the season of release, and the Sam Edelman Tacoma version of this style is of much higher quality (material and design) than the Steve Madden knock-offs that are plastic/pleather.
