"I have always wanted a pair of red pumps. I saw this one and loved it. I do however find that it is a tad bit close on one foot in the area of the little toe. I suspect that will get a little more comfortable after a few wears.
The description did say that the shoe was patent leather, but there is nothing printed on the inside to confirm this claim."

Runs big!
"I ordered these in a 7.5, which is typically my size, but they were way too big when they arrived. I probably would have needed a full size smaller. Part of the problem is the peep toe is large, so it is easier for your foot to slide forward in them. Besides the sizing, I was unimpressed with them. I wanted a lower heel but I found them to be a little unflattering."

Classic
"Great classic peep-toe! While I would love to be able to wear a higher heel, I have bad luck with my ankles. The heel height on these is perfect! I'm able to wear a heel and still be able to walk without breaking myself."

Great-looking heels
"I wanted so badly for these heels to fit! I bought them in black, and they looked great. The heel's the right height, and the shoe fits true to size. Sadly, they're too narrow for my bunions, so they must go back."

bad purchase
"i bought these in beige and they're the most uncomfortable shoes I ever purchased. They run short, narrow, and not very comfortable."

LOVE these shoes!
"This is the second pair of this shoe I have ordered. Both in the nude--I LOVE how they make my legs look. My first pair lasted 2 years after excess wear and I am excited to see them online again. Fabulous shoes and a great heal height. I am not a normal wearer of pumps so I am get through the day in these 2.5 inch heals. Do yourself a favor and purchase these! I'm looking into getting more colors."

not as comfy as other reviewers said
"I tried to wear these shoes to a black tie event, so the walking wasn't a lot, but the standing around was for an hour or so. Even tho I tried to break them in on carpet at home, they were still stiff. I ended up sitting at my table all evening because they hurt! They rub at the top of the big toe"

Love/hate relationship
"First the pros: As far as looks, these pumps are amazing. It's the perfect shade of red to make your outfit really pop. I'm very picky about patent, but these look great. Not cheap looking, especially considering the price. The heel height is also wonderful. Not so high that they're uncomfortable, but high enough that they look cute. Coming from someone who rarely wears heels, they're pretty comfortable, though they could definitely use some breaking in (the fabric is stiff, but I expected this).
Now the cons: I usually wear a 9 or 9.5, and I ordered these in a 9.5. Pretty much every pair of heels on earth rubs blisters on my heels, so I wanted to leave room for heel pads. With the pads the shoes were a little snug when I first put them on, but that didn't last. Because they're patent, they don't breathe at all. So after walking about 3 blocks, my feet had gotten a little sweaty and the shoes started slipping off! I kept walking out of them the entire night! I don't think sizing down would have worked since I doubt I could've squeezed my feet into a size smaller. They also started cutting into the tops of my feet by the end of the night, but again they may just need breaking in.
So overall, these are reasonably comfortable heels if I could just figure out how to keep them on my feet! I'm not sure if this is a design flaw or what, but be aware sizing these can be tough. I'd recommend if you can keep them on!"

"I feel like the shoe runs a bit too narrow, though it has potential. I plan on investing in a shoe stretcher, I think that may solve some problems. Other than the pinching at the toe, I love the idea of these red shoes!"

Comfier than most heels
"I wore these to be bridesmaid at my friend's wedding. The tan/neutral color looked very classy with our red dresses, and actually made my legs look longer! The shoes were very comfortable - like a good pair of pumps. I did end up taking them off to dance because the open toe part was starting to pinch my feet after 9 hours of wearing them and walking all over and standing as a bridesmaid. No complaints, though, really. Very good shoes to have for a long day!"

Uhm Perfect much?!
"I saw the reviews for these and thought the toe box would be uncomfortable but for the other pair of heels I bought [Etienne Aigner Drew Pumps], I felt that the toe box was a little tight so I wanted to see if these were better. Turns out when I put this on, the back was perfect [just enough struggle to get it on, so that it doesn't fall off!], I never got even red marks on the side of my foot, and on top of that, I have extra toe room, which pleasantly surprised me! Sorry DSW, but I'm returning my Aigner's for Ellen Tracy's. I love these heels--I swear, they'll be comfortable for any lady! :) And even though these aren't platform, I surely had stability!"

Great shoe without a huge heel!
"Love these shoes, I'm six feet tall and it's hard to find cute peep toes without a 4-5" heel!"

Perfect Transition Shoe - Great Versatility!
"This shoe is such a great deal. I wear it teaching all day and I could definitely see myself wearing it out as well. The heel height is very ideal, the insole is very supportive, and the peep toe is just perfect. I got it in black but may pick it up in red also :)"

"Love these shoes, a gorgeous mix of style and comfort. Perfect heel to help you transform your look from day to evening. The camel color did not compliment my skin tone so had to return them, but the awesomeness of this shoe derserves 5 stars. I plan to buy them in black."

Perfect day to night
"Just bought my second pair of nude Vanna pumps - I got my first over a year ago and have worn them out! The perfect shoe to wear to work and then out on a date. My boyfriend loves heels and I'm not a huge fan (I'm 5' 9") so I feel like I get the best of both worlds with these; he thinks they are sexy and I think they are comfy/easy to walk in. After wearing them out in the elements all year they are damaged and scraped up (I'm walking in the city) so I just figured I would pick up another pair. Considering the fact that I wear them a few times a week (all seasons - they look great with jeans) it's worth it!"

finally!!!!
"these are perfect. perfect fit, perfect shade of red. that bright poppy color that leans a little blue, rather than orange. i have been looking everywhere for a bright red peep toe that wasnt 4 inches tall or had a thick platform. they arent the most comfortable shoes, but its nothing one or two of those little cushion inserts doesnt fix right up. these pop with a pair of jeans making them perfect for effortlessly chic outfit. and when paired with a bright red lip, they light up the room. love love love!"

Awesome shoe!
"I bought these in red. The heel is a little low, but I can work in these all day and my feet are fine. Everyone notices the red! Great shoes."
