I read good reviews and was still hesitant to buy them. When they arrived I put them on and was surprised how comfortable they are. Definitely a whole day shoe. The heel looks tall but with platform you dont feel it at all. They run true to size. Im a size 8, and ordered size 8. Very versatile as they are tricolor and can be worn with either a little black dress, a red outfit or white outfit. The materia is a bit cheap and probably wont last first rain or wet streets, but for the looks it was worth $49 (free shipping next day delivery). Some of the holes on the straps are punctured NOT in the middle and Im worried they might tear at some point… but overall beautiful original and comfortable shoes.
