Sam Edelman just makes great shoes. I had another pair of his flat sandals in a 6.5 so I took the risk and ordered this shoe having never tried on a high heel of his. They fit great! The back portion of this shoe is really nicely made and does not rub on the heel at all, as I had feared it may.

They are super tall but easy to walk in and the black ones look fabulous with black opaque tights! Would order the other colors if I could afford to :)
