I may be only 31, but I refuse to wear 5 inch heels to be sexy. I've tried it and can't do it without looking absolutely crazy (more power to women who can, though). However, I still want shoes that have that "Wow" factor. I'm completely into glamour, but I love that these are also great quality and comfortable also. Some ladies have said that these are Kate Spade knock-offs, but I've seen the Kate Spade version of this shoe. I would break my neck trying to walk in a heel that high. These are right up my alley since I can wear them for hours without having to take "Oh my Lord, I just want some dang slippers" sitting breaks. Thank you, J. Renee.
