These shoes are very comfortable yet it gives me added height which I wanted.  I'm glad it came in black since I didn't want to be too blingy but I do like the bejeweled "V".  I bought two pairs since I liked them so much.  I did get true to size for me since I have very small feet & it's still roomy but not too much.  I have worn these all day to work & after which is about 10 to 12hrs & still did not hurt me feet.  Love these sneakers!
