So, I've been known to buy a shoe just for the way it looks without giving too much consideration to the comfort of it. Form over function is my motto. I was greatly surprised when these came in the mail to find that they are the most comfortable heels I have ever purchased. Even with a loose bone chip floating around in my toe joint, these are very comfortable. Extra cushiony insole, a supple piece of leather folds over the rear heel to provide extra cushioning for the Achilles tendon, and the sole is rubberized for a bit more cushion and grip on smooth surfaces. I had never heard of this shoe brand before this purchase, but I'm definitely a new convert! I'd love to buy another pair of shoes made by the same maker. Super stylish and super comfortable at a very reasonable price for the quality. I LOVE THESE SHOES.
