I'd give these a 4 1/2 stars because they do run slightly big and there was also a slight defect in the inside seam at the arch - white glue showing, but I fixed it with a blue sharpie lol. I'm super picky about craftsmanship. Other than that the shoe is made very well. I ordered the navy which is a BEAUTIFUL rich almost jewel tone. The picture does not do it justice. I've been looking for pretty navy shoes forever! The patent piping is so unique. The strap(s) fits nice and snug. They are VERY comfie for being so high. The footbed is cushioned well and the platform provides solid footing. If you are not used to walking in 5 inch heels, you may wobble at first. I love that I can find 5.5 in JS shoes pretty easily. I love her line and love these so much. I am wearing them to work today. They are classic, classy, sassy, feminine and sexy!
