So, I was browsing around for a lilac or purple pump. I was just about to buy a beautiful lilac/purplish pump by G.Zanotti but then came across this find. Love the design, the deep almost black purple hue and the heel height. Now, the only way to confirm if I really like it, is to see it, hold it and try it on when it arrives this week. I only have 1 pair of B9's and it's cute, so I'm hoping I didn't go wrong with this purchase. The price was soooo right! I'll post an update by the end of the week. I certainly hope it looks as good as the picture. 2/13/13-update: They r lovely! They fit true to size on me, if I had ordered up, they'd be too long in the length. Toe box/bed is narrow, but not pinching, squeezing or uncomfortable to my feet. The color, is absolutely beautiful. Ok, the sole isn't leather, but I don't care this time. Ladies, we all know the platform isn't going away bkuz it helps balance as we walk, so get this shoe and add it 2 ur collection. May not be practical, but who says deep purple can't b ur new black?! Thanks Amazin' Amazon!
