I bought the off white pair, which turned out to be really pretty. They are a warm creamy colour and match the wooden finish of the platform and heel nicely. The platforms make the heel height very manageable, although they do produce dreadful clopping noises on uncarpeted floors.

Size-wise I was caught between ordering 8 (which is what I get most of the time, especially in open-toed shoes) and 8.5 (which I find more comfortable in some closed-toed shoes), and based on the reviews here, I went with the former. This turned out to be the correct choice for me. Fresh out of the box, the fit was comfortable without being loose, but, like many others, I was afflicted with The Curse Of The Slipping Heel once I started walking. So I put in a pair of Scholl's heel liners (the thick leather ones, not the thin velvety ones), which did wonders for the slippage issue. This made the overall fit tighter than desired for a while, but then the leather expanded nicely and all was well.

I conclude that these pumps look lovely and feel comfy, but they only get three stars because of the luck and effort they require in order to be truly functional.
