I bought these shoes hoping for decent quality without having to pay $100+ to get it; these were it! They make your legs look very long (because of the nude), are reasonably comfortable for the style (I'm not a big high-heel wearer nowadays), and are well made. The front seam is a perfect touch (though hard to see in the photo) and it has a textured material, which looks luxe without being gaudy. Only complaint is they were slightly more matte than the picture looks. I wasn't expecting patent, but i expected them to be a little shinier. It's no biggie, though, because I get compliments on them every time I wear them.
