I never wear heels but I want to get in the practice of it. I got this shoe in black and it's a classic pump with a bit of an edge and made for comfort. The toe is pointy, but is shaped in the actual way a foot is shaped - and without being unattractively wide as some Comfortable Shoe Brands tend to do. There is extra cushioning where you need it. The heel isn't too high.

I tried out the 9 and 9.5. Generally in shoes I wear a size 9 but I worried this one was a little tight in the toes. Also, my heels were slipping out of the back - something that just happens with my feet - so I'd put in heel grips. I tried the 9.5 but it was too big. I'm sticking with the 9 because it's still insanely comfy and I will just sort out the heel grip situation.

I also have a pair of booties by Tsubo, but after these heels, I want to forget about all other brands and buy Tsubo shoes exclusively. I give the Dufay pump a GLOWING recommendation.
