I have been a stay at home mom for the past 7 years. When I decided to go back to work I needed to update my shoe style. I was a little scared of these at first since I don't usually wear high heels, but they were amazing. They are sexy yet mature. I got more compliments on these shoes than any pair I have! They are perfect to go from your day job to out on the town. And the best part my feet were not aching at the end of the day. I love them!
