I bought these shoes last year to wear to my birthday party. I had a whole black/white theme going with my outfit. I must say, ever since I got them...I keep trying to buy more clothing that will work with them because they are THAT cute and THAT unique. I get compliments on them every time I wear them....which sadly is not as often as I'd like to. If you aren't used to wearing tall shoes, though...forget it. I don't own any shoes shorter than 4.5", besides flip flops and gym shoes....so I'm accustomed to the height. The shape of the front of the shoe does create snuggness for your toes, but nothing too serious. Anyhow, I wish I could have a million different types of this shoe... They're that great!
