"For someone who has always sworn against "pointy-toed shoes," I was surprised to find that these pumps fit well and were actually comfortable! Each strap across the top of the shoe has elastic on one end (the inside part of the shoe), so it's fairly easy to put the shoe on. The zipper in the back did not irritate my heel, either. I like the suede fabric also, and the nude color withstood walking throughout the city without getting scuffed up. Love these shoes, can't wait to wear them again soon!"
