These are great shoes!  The size was just right.  You could wear them to the office, to dinner, to church, to a formal occasion, to a party, and a wedding because it REALLY works and looks well with various dresses and of course slacks.  And unlike some shoes where your balance is off, these are made well so that you don't feel awkward walking. The gloss ones don't have a high shine and the heel is just right, about 1 inch.
