I love the color, very pretty & richer than in the photo. They fit perfect, true to size & weren't tight in the toe bed. They seem so much higher when I put them on yet comfortable & able to walk in. My mother wanted to try them on & she wasn't able to walk in them so for the 5inch heel novice, they're difficult. Contrary to the review who thinks the snake patern is too prominent I thinks thats the allure of the shoe. Its what makes it stand out in a crowd.
