I just got these shoes today and wore them out tonight--and I have to say I LOVE them. To understand the meaning of that, please know that I've had two double foot surgeries with legacy issues and am shorter and heavier than I'd like to be--and these are flattering with a pointed toe that visually lengthens the leg without being uncomfortable. The height is perfect for business that can sneak into evening, and I got them in the black patent, which is a great cross-over look. I'd love them in another color though am trying to talk myself out of it--but losing!
