I wanted this pair of shoes for at least four months, before deciding to buy them. I was so excited I even paid for express shipping. I have wide feet, however, and they were incredibly painful after just a short while. I should have known this would be the case, since they are patent leather, but I still took a chance. I will say this, though, I own several pairs of Jessica Simpson shoes and they are all very comfortable and I recommend the brand to everyone. Although, not this style for wide feet.
