For the past several years, I have been looking for a basic pair of black heels ever since my old roommates dog chewed my perfect pair of Jessica Simpson heels. Sadly, I have been unsuccessful in finding another pair just like those, but these Laddie Pumps come in with a close 2nd. I love that the black is textured. They are really tall (maybe I'm not use to heels in general), but they will definitely be my go to shoe. They look awesome dressed down or dressed up. My shoes size is anywhere from a 6-7. A 6.5 would have been ideal in this heel. Size 7 was the my only option and it is a little roomy, but I'm going to stick in a few gel pads on the inner heel and I'll be golden. These also ran me less than $30. Overall, I am very satisfied with this product. It arrived 3 days earlier than it was suppose to, and that was with the basic shipping. This is the second pair of Michael Antonio shoes I have ordered from Amazon, and both have been great quality for a great price.  I am very, very tempted to get them in the silver.
