This is your basic, high-quality, true-to-size Etienne Aigner heeled oxford: They're obviously built to last a long time and to wear well.  Some might call the Jodell a "bootie", but it's just too classy a shoe for me to call it that.  However, as comfortable as these shoes are, they are lacking something in my mind, probably simply due to the fact that last season I was desperate for a pair of Etienne  Aigner's "Quest" heeled oxfords in black--but couldn't afford a pair before they all sold out.  These Jodell shoes are a similar design and offer a similar silhouette, and in black leather they are attractive and can go with countless outfits.  Still, the lack of detailing in the leather, by comparison to the Quest, just leaves them a bit boring-looking.  I think they're a decent substitute for the Quest shoes but, really, the Jodell is aesthetically rather plain!  (The one Jodell variety that has any signature pizzazz, in my humble opinion, is unfortunately not actually available through Amazon at this time.  What a pity!)  Still, a woman who's not pining away for a shoe from last season, as I am, will probably find the solid-color Jodell shoes to be just what they're looking for in a quality, heeled oxford.
