I wanted something vintage looking for the steampunk and theatrical events I attend, and these were just want I was looking for.  And the price was very reasonable.  I wore them for the first time to a grand ball, and actually waltzed all night in them.  They have just the right amount of heel height and "slide" on the dance floor, while not being too slippery, and my feet lasted all evening without any discomfort.  I am very pleased with my purchase...I will definitely be using them again and again.
