I love Pleaser, but I'm thinking that I will stick to the open toe shoes. This one is a little snug on my foot. I wear either a 8 1/2 or a 9 depending on the shoe and this one is very snug. It will be sitting in the closet with a shoe stretcher for a while! Everything else about the shoe is almost perfect. The velvet is soft and rich. The heel is sturdy and well built. My only complaint is that the 9 fits like a snug 8 1/2. If you can get the right fit...this is a great shoe!
