Women's

I was so pleased with these when I got them, even more stylish and flattering than in the photos. The slightly rounded toe is classic! I can wear an 8M in some heels if the toes are not too pointed but my feet are happier in a 7.5W . I don't wear heels often so the height is not too extreme of a change for me and the straps across the arch help make the fit more secure.

The shoe has a lovely style. The color is a very dark navy, which was fine for my application, but for anyone looking for a "bluer" navy, be advised--the shoe looks very dark blue, almost black. It is described as having a man-made suede fabric upper. It is by no means a luxurious or convincing suede; the fabric is matte and suede-like. From a normal viewing distance, the appearance is fine (I'll be wearing these shoes to a wedding), but you should know that it isn't a really luxurious shoe. As far as fit is concerned, the shoe pinches a little at the widest part of my foot, but I have really difficult-to-fit feet. My foot is very wide in the front but narrow to medium at the heel. The width is probably true to size, but I wouldn't really know, thanks to my weird feet--("Curse my duck-human ancestors!") Overall, it's a lovely shoe and one that would probably fit foot an average foot well.

Beautiful heel, just the right height and very comfortable.
