These shoes are nothing short of amazing. They are perfectly designed so that the weight is distributed mostly to the ball of the foot, easing heel and back pain after wearing. For women who are not used to this, walking in these heels may take some getting used to, as you sometimes will feel as if you are going to fall forward, but a little practice is worth the extra comfort. I bought these in the brown color to go with a dress for my college graduation, and they are so gorgeous! The satin is soft and smooth, and prevents blisters from a tough material rubbing on your foot. I recommend these to anyone who wants comfortable, stylish, well-designed heels for any occassion.
