These shoes were exactly what I was looking for!  The leather has a gorgeous sheen to it, and the heels are sturdy to actually be able to walk in them.  Dress them up or down...perfect!  After reading the previous reviews I did order a half size larger than I usually wear.  I am glad I did and I love them!  I won't be wearing them to work in, but a night out in these sexy heels will make whatever I choose to wear look stunning!
