These are a really nice comfortable shoe and the purple ones really do bring a pop of color (though the blue is pretty, too).  I wish I could wear them with slacks but the frou-frou along the t-strap makes that look a bit awkward, but with capris or skinnys they're perfect (too bad I can't really wear either to work).  The heel height is really perfect for me--high enough to be hot but not so high that they'll ever cause any pain.  I wish Madden Girl shoes weren't synthetic (leather=awesome), but it's a comfortable shoe at an even more comfortable price so I'll suffer synthetic just this once.  Strangely, I can't wear Steve Madden shoes because entirely they're too narrow for me, but Madden Girl fits just fine (I hover between 8-8.5 and these fit great in an 8).
