all the rage this past fall, but i still love them. they are a great balance between elegant and clunk. they have the feel of seventies rock n roll. black skinny jeans and a plain & sexy white vneck tee and your outfit is ready to go anywhere in these comfy heels. I am a seasoned heel wearer, but still pretty comfy for this height, I added some foot cushions on the ball of the foot so I can wear them easily all day, but as you may know, just about all steve madden shoes already have cushions already built in, as these do as well. I doubled up. why not?
