My boyfriend bought me these shoes as a Christmas present to wear in Holland in January, as we like to dress 1920s when we visit, no idea why lol , we thought they would be stylish and comfortable to walk in. They are just as expected and very pretty. They do need to be broken in though, as they are quite stiff. They are very wide fit and spongy but sturdy to walk on, very comfortable, how ever as they are very rounded, they dig into my big toe a bit, as that is slightly longer than my other toes, so do be weary of that if your biggest toe is longer than others (most people's are), how ever, I do feel like they will become comfier gradually the more I wear them, and it is no where near the discomfort you get from other heels, or even some flat boots (I usually wear stilleto)
