This is one gorgeous pump, there's no doubt about that.  The heel height is great, too.  I love the almond toe and I don't mind a little bit of toe cleavage.  I wore these shoes for about 3/4 of the workday before I had to switch into flats.  They were cutting in to the top of my foot in a pretty painful way.  I'm hoping they'll stretch a bit like another pair of patent DV's I own (which were blister-y the first time I wore them but fine after that).  The color is fantastic, I will say that much.  Lovely shoe.
