These heels are hot. I'm a heel wearer so can happily wear these for hours without getting sore feet. They do run large tho, I generally wear a 9.5 and I think I could prob have got a 9 and still had plenty of room. Because the thick strap is high up on your foot, them being a bit big isn't a real problem so i didn't bother to return them. I bought them in chocolate and have received many favourable comments, the colour compliments many outfits and can wear them with just about everything. As in other reviews the zippers were a little stiff. I'd recommend getting a colourless candle and rubbing it along the teeth of the zip.. just gives a the teeth a little coating of the wax and solves the problem. Very sexy heel.
