I bought these in black patent leather to replace my old black pumps just before an interview, so was a little nervous about getting blisters and limping around all day. However, I have been very pleased. They are a classic style, the height is perfect for someone like me who typically wears flats but needs a good pair of heels for a dressier look. I wore them 1 time before my interview and had no problems the day of even without using insoles, which I typically do with pumps. I would definitely recommend these to someone. I can't say how they hold up in terms of wear at this point, but for the price, it's hard to beat for a comfortable pair of pumps.
