Since discovering that I can't walk in regular heels to save my life, I fell back on the trusty, stable wedge. These shoes are excellent looking, made out of a soft suede. The toe is a very pretty, not-too-trendy almond shape. There is actually plenty of room in the toe box, which helps make these very comfy -- no squished toes here! I do have a little bit of rubbing on the top inside of my foot, but I think it will go away as the shoes stretch. Make no mistake, these are some tall shoes! But the actual difference between the toe and heel isn't all that much, so they are more comfy than they look. IMPORTANT: these run big, so get a half size smaller than you normally would. (I wear a 7-7.5, have these in a 6.5 and they fit perfectly!)
