These shoes are lovely. A short pointed toe and metallic sheen make them suitable for nearly any occassion. I purchased them in a beige shade with gold shimmer tones, gorgeous color pairing in person. I'm very satisfied. They run true to size and simply didn't get 5 stars because of comfort.

That's not to say they are uncomfortable, simply not well padded at the ball of the foot. I typically run all over the office and town in heels and had no issues with these holding up. For some one less accustomed to heels they may seem a bit drastic. In comparison to my other stilletos they get about four stars out of five on comfort. Not bad, but I have found better. Still satisfied with my purchase and will certainly continue to wear them.
