"I usually don't even buy shoes that often, but decided I desperately needed black booties for work (I'm a hostess) and going out... I just got these on Friday and wore them for the duration of the weekend. I LOVE them. They're super comfortable (they pass the "can I run in them" test!), especially after being on my feet for upwards on 6 hours in them, and have the perfect amount of heel. My shoe size typically fluctuates (anywhere from an 8, to 8.5, to even 9), so I got both the 8 and 8.5 to try since these shoes aren't available in stores... Definitely sticking with the 8.5. If you are debating getting these shoes, just do yourself a favor and get them. Super comfortable, a great price, and they're adorable. How could you say no!? It's a win-win-win."
