It does what it says it does: Makes your feet look very, very sexy. I am normally a 10 in Betsey Johnson shoes, but these were too large, hence only 4 stars...  I am ordering the 9.5 with great excitement. I love, love, love these. I have bunions, and it's often hard to find heels that do not pinch or hurt that area--these do not. The suede is supple, and forgiving.
