I HATE spending this much on shoes.  That being said, I have looked for a nice pair of pumps for 2 years from every store I could find on land and on line.  I wear an 8, I had to get the 7.  I have narrow heels, this shoe fit perfectly.  The leather is beautiful. The heel height gives it a very sexy appearance without being rediculously high as with the wedge.  It is elegant.  I lvoe pumps and i love sexy heels.  This shoe is truly an amazing buy.
