I absolutely LOVE this shoe! The heel is pretty high, but the platform provides great support which makes it very comfortable. The leather is soft and luxurious. I've been shopping around for an Oxford shoe and this was by far the best. I gave it four stars because I expected the Wine colour to be a little richer, but the up side to that is that it can easily pass for a Brown shoe as well which is lovely. Love it,  Nine West rocks!!
