I had been looking for a basic black leather pump for work, so I was excited when I found these on discount. When I tried them on, I immediately wanted them off my feet. The arch was way more extreme than I expected, so i felt like I was waling on my tiptoes; the platform in front didn't help. The heel ran large, so my feet were falling out. I had this same issue with another Nine West heel. I don't understand how a shoe can be tight in the toebox yet large in the heel? I quickly returned them.
