Really a good looking sandal! Sadly had to return because they hit my toes in the wrong place and my arch was too high as well as having too much space in the back where the heal is (although my mom is the same size as I am and she didn't have enough room in the back so it depends on your foot)

Super glittery without looking cheap or tacky. Wish they fit or else I would keep them (even though my mom ordered them!) Would liven up and add sparkle to any outfit. The heal is a comfortable low height where you aren't teetering around and can actually walk.

Crystals don't look cheap or fake but very glitzy and cute! Looks like they could be worn with just about anything for any event!

It had a dirty and poorly assembled heal. There was clear glue dried outside of the rhinestones base. I would not mind the clear glue so much as one cannot see it from afar. However, one heel had dirt dried in that glue, and that was visible. Returning

Photos do not do justice to this shoe. During the daylight it looks like the seller's photo. The gold on the zipper part of the heel is very shiny like a gold foil. The heel itself is more of a matte gold.

The crystal-like decorations are solidly in place. The crystal-like decorations reflect several colors including blue. The zipper is a heavier weight - not flimsy. I like that the skin is protected by a flap from the zipper. The heel has a nice touch with more crystal-like decorations.

The actual sole of the shoe is thin, so I would not recommend this shoe for wearing outside in cold weather. Maybe carry them in a bag and change into them near your event.

The sole near where the straps attach near the ball of the toes is uneven. I have attached a photo for your review. While wearing the shoe, the wavy sole is not a problem. I suspect that if this shoe becomes wet or the sole wears thin, the straps will loosen and come out of the shoe.

Understand, this is a solidly made shoe, but it is delicate. I am considering buying another pair as a backup. The sole has a little traction build in which can be seen in the photo.

Along with the shoe are extra caps for the heel and some crystal- replacements. Each shoe has its own protective cloth-like bag for protection. The box is lovely but was a little damaged in the shipping.

Here is what impressed me - it fits a American size 11 with a wide foot ball near the toes. Yes - you know what I am talking about. Don't you hate it when you buy a shoe and your toes are squeezed so tight you circulation is cut off in the first 5 seconds? Well - this shoe has extra space built in. My foot is not fat - it is wide boned. A woman with a narrow foot may find this shoe too wide. I actually fit a 10 1/2 wide but very few manufactuers create a 10 1/2 wide. So - I bump up to a size 11. This shoe has extra space in the heel which is why I believe it is true to size.
Don't you hate it when you buy a woman's size11 - and your toes slide right out the opening? Well - this shoe holds the foot in place. The heel is almost like a "kitten heel" -- but a little taller than a ktten heel.
I was impressed not only with the box and packaging, extra parts, and solid design, I loved being able to actually fit this shoe.

The t-strap up the middle is cleverly disguised. Size 11 shoes often flip flop on my heels. The design of this shoe holds my foot into place.

I purchased this shoe to wear on elegant night on a cruise. After trying on the shoe,I could see that it was versatile. It can be used to dress up a pair of jeans for parties or even casual Fridays at work.

These elegant shoes will rock with a cute handbag and sports coat or jean jacket. Oh yeah - this is a keeper.

Keep in mind this is a gold shoe especially on the heel. The crystals make the shoe look more neutral or even silver from the top. The zipper part of the heel defines this shoe as gold.

The photo makes the heel below the zipper part look like champagne color, but the heel part is matte gold while the zipper part is shiny gold.

Because it took weeks for this shoe to arrive, I recommend ordering 2 sizes and returning the one that does not fit because it takes those weeks in transit before you can try on the shoe. I lucked out and the shoe I ordered fit the first time. I recommend ordering your regular shoe size if you only want to order one shoe at a time. I am unsure how this company handles returns.

This shoe shipped from China. The cloth shoe bag protectors and the shoes had a chemical smell so I am letting them air out. The smell was not bad, but I am sensitive to odors and thought you would want to know.

I hope you found this review helpful in your decision making process.

Let me preface this by saying I don't wear heels except when dressing up - and they are NEVER comfortable. There is no such thing as comfortable heels in my mind.

These were low so I was able to wear them longer, but on a hard floor, these have absolutely no cushion and my feet were definitely hurting after a pretty short time, probably about 2 hours.

That said, they are gorgeous. The gems stayed on - they seem pretty well constructed. I appreciate the zip up back because I felt stable in them. The top of where it zips rubbed on my heel some - but I noticed while I was still home and put some microfoam tape on my heel to protect it. This worked out well and you couldnt see it under my long dress anyways.

I ordered a 9 and I usually wear a 9 and these were just fine. The only part that was a little small was the toe. It worked, but my toes just barely fit on the sole.

If you need something sparkly I would say these are as good as anything you'll find, especially for the price.

Bought these for my sons wedding. More beautiful in person even. Read the reviews which said they ran 1/2-1 size small. I normally wear a 9.5, so I ordered a 10 and the size was perfect. I have slightly wide feet. NO discomfort or marks on my feet. They don't slip. Classy look that was appropriate for my age (41) and occasion and my 14 yr old daughter wants to steal them. Perfect heel height (just over 2.5") if you want a heel that's not too high but still makes your legs look slim. Wore them from 4:30pm-midnight, and dance the night away (and I'm a heel hater normally.)
