I wasn't so sure that I'd be in love with this shoe based on the photo but I took a chance and am glad that I did because they look  great in person. 9West shoes normally run a bit large in my experience but I purchased these in my normal size 7.5 and the fit is true. The rounded toe makes for all day comfort and the heel is just high enough to be sexy but not over the top so these are totally appropriate for even the most conservative office (think pencil skirt and silk tie-neck blouse on Monday and skinny jeans and a tweed blazer on casual Friday). Overall analysis? This shoe is polished, classic, ladylike AND comfortable and considering the price it's a great value as well.
