" Oh man, I don't know what it is, but I struggle with Zigi Soho heels. I have some of their flats and they're amazing, but for whatever reason I've had to return most of their heels I've tried. The Dolled bootie is a fun shoe and a departure from my typical style, and so for that reason I'm keeping them. However, they're just not very comfortable. I think perhaps the balance between heel and toe is slightly off - my lower back hurt after wearing them a while, and I'm a girl who wears 6" platforms all day at work. I'm no height amateur! They also don't look of high quality - the "man-made materials" is pretty apparent. I'm kind of thinking of them as short-term-wear party shoes. If you're into that, they'll fit the bill.

" I recently saw this girl walking across the street wearing the most darling coral jelly-like flats and I wanted to emulate her immediately. Luckily I found the Trivol in the pretty pinky coral color! I was worried about comfort, as sometimes it seems any type of ankle strap leaves me blistered, but I've not had any trouble with these so far. I also worried about the bottoms being thin, and that my feet might hurt from lack of cushion; but again, so far so good. They run big - I usually size between 7 and 7.5, and I chose a 7 here, though I think I could have even gone to 6.5 if I wanted them to feel extra secure. Great for casual running around in the nice weather!

" These shoes are my favorite color this summer - a hot slightly orangey pink. So bright they practically glow. So much fun! These have a lot of unique style, with the somewhat convex heel and gold accents on the back of the heel and along the edges of the sole. Moderate heel height makes for easy wearing. I love them!

" I got these in black - I was trying on similar styles in the store and was surprised to find these more comfortable than others with platforms! I'm typically between a 7 and 7.5, and the 7 in these works even on foot-swelling hot summer days. Lovely classic style. And one that I see there's a navy, I might be getting a second pair!

" I was surprised to find that these ran a little big for me - I'm between a 7 & 7.5, and the 7.5 was just a little to long for my foot. I was able to track down what seemed like the one remaining black size 7 anywhere in a nearby store, and I'm so very happy I did. These are a beautiful and unconventional shoe - too often I feel like cutouts try to hard, but these are lovely. And they're a killer approximation of a much, MUCH more expensive designer shoe I saw this summer, so that's a perk!

Comfy Flat
" I love this little flat - I got them in grey to take on a trip, and they were great even for light hiking all day in a national park. They're incredibly comfortable and don't rub at all.
However, after about 2 weeks the bottom rubber had started peeling off one shoe. I'm about two months into owning these now, and I've noticed the material starting to get a little hole on one heel.
All that being said, they're so easy to wear and so reasonably priced that it wouldn't bother me too much - just as long as I could pick up another pair or two easily! I hope dsw keeps this style and/or gets more in stock (7.5 please!) :)

" I've been eyeing these for a while and finally picked up the black/green color. They're so visually interesting with the snakeskin on the back and the green on the front. When I was in the store I noticed that some new spring colors are coming out too...
I wear between 7 and 7.5 and wound up getting the 7 - they seem to run long and slightly narrow. The toe is a little pinchy but I'm hoping that since they are leather, they will stretch a bit.
Can't wait to wear them as soon as it gets warmer!

Adorable!
" I just got these in the mail in the turquoise, so I haven't walked around in them much, but so far I am in love. The blue color is pretty accurate to the photo with a little sheen in the fabric, but I would say the wedge itself has a slightly more yellow hue in real life.
I am also a bit picky about wedges, as I don't care for wide or heavy heels, and these are nicely narrow and feminine in the heel and don't weigh my feet down. I normally wear a 7 - 7.5 and opted for a 7.5 in these based on previous reviews, and the fit seems great. I'm going to have to think about getting them in the yellow color too!!

" I got these in the regular black leather - I'd been looking for a pair of ridiculous black platforms to wear with skinny jeans and dresses, and these fit the bill! As I think some other reviewers have said, they're actually pretty comfortable, which can be hard to find in such a tall heel. The height of the platform makes the 5 inch heel very wearable (although I don't walk very fast in them...). I also really like that the platform is enclosed rather than exposed; I generally prefer that look. I'd definitely consider getting them in another color!

Nice Style But...
" I really like the style of this shoe; classic, simple. But for me, it's one of the more uncomfortable pairs I've gotten in a while. I had to put some high-heel insoles in them, and even then, I can't wear them for very long. Something about the way they put pressure on the balls of my feet. I love all the different colors that are offered, but can't bring myself to buy another pair.

Very Versatile
" I got these in the gold/silver/bronze, and just like previous reviewers I think they go with just about everything. They're comfortable enough just to wear as easy flipflops, but nice enough to snazz up a dress. I can even see them at a summer wedding. The toe loop is maybe a smidge narrow at the top, but I got used to it quickly.

Cute and Comfortable
" I made an unplanned stop at the mall today and wound up trying these on in the brown... I wasn't 100% sure about them at first, but the more I looked at them, the more I loved them! The heel is on the short side compared to what I usually wear, so maybe that added to the comfyness for me. I really love the cutouts with the anklestrap; feels very vintagey. I think the brown is a bit lighter and more caramel in real life than in the picture. I'm excited to wear these for work; I think they'll work well with dresses too!
