This is my 3rd pair of this particular model (black suede, white & red suede). For the price point, you cannot beat the comfort, timeless styling & balance of the heel. I have not tried the glitter options so I cannot vouch for the durability of their finishes, but anything suede or PU should be great. I love wearing them when I need a pair of balanced, flattering shoes with a higher heel for special occasions. The criss-cross design does not squeeze my little toes like a single strap toe box/forefoot style tends to do for folks with medium or wider widths . My foot is 10.25”L with a medium width and the shoes that seem to fit range from a US 9.5-10.5, depending on style. I went with a size 9.5 and they fit well. I’ve had multiple open tarsal & ligament repairs (plate, screws + permanent hardware etc) on one foot/ankle. The surgeries left significant scarring. It’s been a challenge to find pretty shoes that don’t push on those scars, cater to a medium width foot with an adjustment strap that has enough holes to accommodate ankles that trend “moderately scrawny” in diameter or squeeze my little toes. Strappy sandals have become my saving grace for dress shoe options, but I have found that not all strappy sandals are created equal. Then I ordered my first set of Dream Pairs heeled sandals about 3 years ago on a whim.Personally, this model has been great as far as quality, affordability, style and is almost practical (for me). For folks that already do well with walking in anything that is taller than a 2” heel…place your order. These heels are super cute, timeless, versatile & comfy—and that is taking my mobility challenges into consideration. They have been perfect for special occasions and I feel balanced when walking in them for the most part. However the height of the shoe gets to me after a while because of the hardware & neuropathy in my foot. I tend to struggle with them when walking longer distances and my stride is reduced so I walk a lot slower with smaller steps. But that is me, it’s not a defect with the shoe at all. These are still the best pair of heels (with a 3” heel) that I have walked in at this price point (even at higher price points) to date.So this where the excellent customer service part from Dream Pairs & the seller factors in. I was shopping for a similar shoe with a lower heel for the everyday stuff — for the occasions when you need something a bit fancier than your trusty sneakers, a pair that will go with any outfit but allows you to keep your normal pace, all day long. I found a different Dream Pairs style that I thought would meet that criteria with a lower heel & it had a single strap on the forefoot. I ordered a couple of pairs expecting a similar experience. Unfortunately, I had some issues with the lower block heel that I did not experience with this model. I went through a couple replacement/returns until I realized the lower heel model was not going to work out. I did a final return to the seller (which went smoothly & efficient) then wrote a detailed review of my experience as I was a bit sad that it didn’t work out since I had such a great experience with this higher heel.Within a couple days of completing my review I was promptly contacted by customer service regarding my concerns and they asked if there was something they could do to change my mind. The seller was extremely kind and genuinely cared. I was blown away by their willingness to resolve my issue.They listened to my concerns regarding the other model and while I could not get the lower heel I that I was looking for to work out, they sent me another pair of these 3” heels and they are just as great as my other two pairs. Same fit, quality with a flattering, timeless, & versatile style. I was so grateful for the follow-up & genuine helpfulness that I received from the seller. The seller TopShoes has definitely earned my business. I will keep checking back, in hopes that this style with the same accommodating criss-cross or double strap toe box might be offered by Dream Pairs with a lower block/chunky heel in the future. If that happens, I will order a pair in every color! :-)
