These heels remind me of black patent leather shoes I wore when I was a young boy, which use to be the social fashion until society made the decision boys shouldn't want to wear the same shoes as girls. Obviously, they didn't ask a good cross section of the guys if they approved of this decision, for I have always wanted to wear the patent leather court shoe look. The Tempt-38's toe box encases my toes without stuffing them together and the height of the spike heels add an aire of elegance to the look. The simplistic styling of this high heeled pump is classic. Yes, I do recommend these shoes to anyone for their comfort and stability in almost any setting heels are worn.
