To start, I have very long, skinny feet with high arches.  It's quite difficult for me to find dress shoes that are comfy, attractive, and supportive.  I perpetually have shoes that make my arches hurt, slip off my heel, and rub blisters everywhere.  I decided to splurge and try the Cole Haan Air Tali Lace Wedge, despite the hefty price tag.  I swore to send them back if there was even the slightest problem.  I shouldn't have worried.

These are amazing!  I didn't even break them in before wearing them to an all day conference.  At the end of a very long day of running around and organizing, I wasn't even thinking about my feet--exactly as it should be.  These shoes have plenty of cushion and support, and they are very soft and comfortable to wear.

The heel is a great height for work--it offers a little elevation and style without being a hindrance.  I ordered the black leather with the patent toe.  The patent on the toe is adorable, and I love the bow detail.

Sometimes it's worth spending the money to get a quality product that will last for years, and these shoes certainly fall into that category.
