I had high hopes for these booties. What I expected I would get was basically a Nine West Cosy (another style of bootie) with a more traditionally shaped stiletto heel. This is not the case. The whole shape of the shoe doesn't fit my foot. The heel is way too loose, and since it has a rear zip, this can't be corrected with a heel liner. And while they're easy enough to walk in, stability-wise, but they feel quite heavy. That's because they ARE heavy. I weighed them, and they are significantly heavier than any other shoe I own, except for tall-shafted boots. They look very nice, but I'll have to return them. Like others have said, they do run quite large.
