Months ago I saw these shoes at Macy's and they instantly caught my eye. However, the $90 price tag forced me to put them back without doing anything more than coveting them. Lucky for me, Amazon had them...and knowing that they usually put shoes on pretty good discount, I waited, oh so patient, hoping they did not sell out in my size.

My waiting paid off, because I was able to buy them in the Brown plaid fabric (the same as I'd seen at Macy's) for $26. Score! Macy's still has them for full price.

I got them today, and I adore them. Are they incredibly comfortable shoes? Well...of course not. They're really high heels. Such high heels can never be called "comfortable" and truly be so..they can be comfortable for what they are, or in comparison to other really high heels, but they're certainly not on the same level as comfort as, say, something by Clarks or Sofft. The platform helps, and there is some padding to the insole. They're not total feet killers, and these fall in the "comfortable for what they are/in comparison to" level of wearability. I could probably wear them for an evening and not be in limping agony by the end of the night.

They do run true to size, with just enough room to wear them comfortably with tights (and the peep toe is small enough that tights don't look silly with them). I was concerned about the toe box, as it looked a bit short, and I have long-ish toes. But my toes were not cramped nor forced into uncomfortable positions.

Another note...the fabric has a very subtle shimmer to it that is not evident in the photos, and I didn't see mentioned in the description (unless I overlooked it). It's actually quite a nice effect, and isn't really obvious.

Now I'm off to eyeball them in the purple color. Those will also be mine. Oh yes, they will be mine...
