I bought these in the gray suede (and they ARE suede, I couldn't tell from the description if the gray ones were fabric or leather.) They are very pretty, but big! But mostly only in the heel. The front felt typical for a B width...but the heel slipped off when I walked. I am not sure if it is lacking some structure on the inside or just cut wrong. I usually buy slingbacks because closed heels can fit in odd ways, but I don't think I have ever noticed a problem with wider heel on a typical-width vamp. I even thought that maybe they were too wide all over and my foot just went forward (leaving a gap in the heel) but it doesn't seem to be the case. I just used one of those heel inserts and they fit okay. I took a 2 stars away for this since they were so unusual in their fit (and I have a LOT of shoes.) BUT I added a half star back because the price was so reasonable! I usually don't like to use inserts or anything, either shoes fit me or they don't, but these were a nice enough price that I made them work.

I found the suede on mine to be in nice shape, no marks, no bare spots, etc. like the problems experienced by other reviewers. The heel and platform are covered in a gray patent..I am not sure if it is leather or man-made. I do wish they were suede as well, but I knew the design before I bought them.

They are very comfortable to stand in. The small platform on the front helps lift your foot for the (not-crazy-high) heel...so they are quite easy to walk in...once you can get them to stay on your feet!
