OMG...the reviews I read were not hype! These are the best pumps you will ever purchase and they are worth the money! Take the advice and buy a half size smaller because they will stretch. I absolutely love mine and can foresee owning many more pairs...regardless of the cost! They look great with skirts, dresses, jeans, capris and anything else. You can wear them all day and walk around in them. The only downside I can see is the heel cap comes off easily but watch it...I put a daub of Superglue on mine when it started to come loose and it's all good. But if it comes loose again, I'll take it to my Shoe Repair place and get it fixed right. These shoes are KEEPERS!!!
