"These were my birthday gift to myself... and I must say, they are sure to be a favorite for seasons to come. I wasn't sure how comfortable they would be, but like the earlier reviewers have said, they are quite comfortable. I wore them on Easter and to the mall, and although I don't wear heels very often, I still thought they felt pretty good after several hours. I also appreciated that they came with an additional set of heel taps in the box, so when they start to get worn, it'll be easy to shape them back up. They're well-made, so I expect them to last for several years. I'd highly recommend them!"
