These are a pair of seriously sexy AND comfortable stilletos.  Even with a 4 inch heel they are super comfortable and can easily be dressed up or down.  I stalked these shoes for the longest waiting on the price to drop.  I am so glad I snatched up a pair.  Now that I have a pair of my very own Carrie's and see what the fuss is about, I would pay full price for them!  I can hardly wait to order them in different colors.  You definitely want to order at least 1/2 size up.
