these are some VERY awesome looking shoes. they sparkle and shine in all the right ways.

the shoe itself is actually fairly comfortable. i'm not usually a huge fan of any height platform, but these seem negligable. to me it doesn't make the shoe any more or less comfortable. i DO like how the entire exterior of the shoe is covered with the glitter fabric. they catch the light something fierce!

i am a true to size 8, which is what i ordered, and i found them to be slightly tight in the toe box area. i am sure after a night or so on the shoe stretcher they will be more than fine. the heel area feels a little loose, but some inserts in the back should take care of the issue.

the only real beef i have with these is that the really fine particles of glitter DO come off on things (hands, clothes, etc.). i don't know how this will effect the appearance of the shoe over time, so i may try to locate a spray of some sort to "seal" in the glitter. i'm not sure why the shoes don't come that way anyway, but it's not that big of a deal, especially if i can remedy it myself.

all in all, i found these true to size, reasonably comfortable, and really stunning shoes!
