These shoes are gorgeous and went so beautifully with my outfit for the wedding. They were large because I purposely ordered them larger due to the zipper in the back. After about 4 hours I was happy to take them off but only because I was on my feet all night.

After reading the reviews I thought theses would be comfortable, they're at first but I have wide feet n wore them for an hour during my dress fitting... my feet were in so much pain I had to tell the seemstres I HAD to take them off! They are great for wide feet, I'm just not use to wearing heels... EVER! They're beautiful! I think I just need to break them in and they'll be more comfortable

I was a bridesmaid in a wedding and we had to wear gold shoes. I ordered these and fell in love. These shoes fit comfortably and were beautiful. I wore these shoes for about 4 hours (pictures, ceremony, bride and groom dances and cake cutting). Before dancing i was going to put on flats (i prefer flats). When i took the shoes off the back of the heel actually separated from the shoe. I would have given these shoes a 5 star rating if they didn't break after pretty gentle use after 4 hours. Very disappointing.

I am delighted with these! I ordered my regular size, 71/2, and i'm glad I did! My toes are right at the end of the shoe, but don't hang over. An 8 would have been too big.They arrived in good time, in good condition, and they even came with an extra pair of those little plastic things that go on the end of the heel. They are SUPER COMFORTABLE. Amazingly so, actually. I think one of the reasons for that is the design is a platform (but it doesn't read PLATFORM, ya know?), so even though it looks like a 21/2 inch heel, the heel of your actual foot is only elevated about a half inch. As for the zipper on the back, yes, it can stick, but I realized that there is a little flap of material behind it. If you make sure that flap is straight, they zip much more easily. Plus I dabbed a bit of Vaseline on it with a Q-tip. Problem solved! I would absolutely recommend these!

Even though there was no discerbnable arch support (only because the survey asked) - that wasn't what I was looking for in this shoe. I wore to a wedding and got many compliments from the guests to the bride! The wedding was held on a boat and i felt very comfortable and stable the entire 4 hours+ on the boat in these shoes, going up and down the tiny ladder like stairs and standing on deck. They look flashy in the photo, but oh so beautiful on the feet!! I thought they might be too much, but now I have like-sized friends wanting to borrow my shoes for their events! (I told them to BUY THEIR OWN! LOL). They really are more beautiful in person and the fit was right on with my regular shoe size.I sometimes buy a wider shoe because I hate the marks left after standing so long - not a problem here! 10 hours later (hey, there was an after-party) I took them off, and no marks and my feet didn't hurt. Win-Win!!
