As I mention above, I got the black suede and they really are lovely.  What I adore about these is that I own a black suede miniskirt with which these too-cute shoes go perfectly!

The silver buckle really does "liven up" these lovely boots; it is eye-catching without being at all overpowering.  To take this a bit further, accentuating the overall effect with other pieces of understated jewelry is really the way to go with these.

As always, I recommend gel inserts, but these aren't bad to walk in without inserts (the hidden platform is a little less than an inch, which makes these heels feel a bit lower than they really are).  However, inserts always increase the comfort-level with just about any pair of very high heels.

Having said that, if you aren't very accustomed to walking in very high heels, you might want to go with something that has a lower heel until you are accustomed to walking in at least three inch heels.  Then, you can "step up" to these!  Taking the hidden platform in account, these feel like walking in four inch heels, even though they are really more like five inch heels.

I'm thinking very seriously of getting these in another color but for now, I can't decide which one.  So, I'll just finish by saying these are really cute, are quite wearable, and are just a really cool pair of heels.
