Got these shoes last week and finally wore them today.  Not only are they hot, they are comfortable for such a high heel.  I received several compliments.  I wore them for over 9 hours today and not a sore foot. However, I did end up with a wee bit of a blister on the back of my foot;  nothing a little patch at the back of the shoe can't fix. By the way, I got the navy and they are really navy.  In the photo it looks purple.
