"I own two pairs of Elise pumps. One in orange reptile, one in taupe leather. They are absolutely fantastic. I get compliments on them all the time. A perfect mid height, I can run around for hours standing/walking.
My reptile pair is wide width, and my taupe pair is regular. The orange ones were amazingly comfortable for my wide feet right out of the box. The taupe ones did have a "settling" period, but they were definitely not uncomfortable when brand new (I have fairly wide feet) and I could still wear them for hours.
I have worn my reptile pair for over 6 months (2-5 x a week) and they aren't showing any wear. I haven't even had to change the heel tip! The taupe ones seem to be just as sturdy. I am definitely not one to baby my heels and wear them everywhere. I like this style so much that it is my go-to foot candy.
A note on the toe: finding a pointed toe that doesn't make my size ten feet look clownish can sometime be a struggle. The angle of the point on this style is very flattering. Would be a great choice for those that usually prefer a rounded toe.
