"These are my first pair of steve maddens that I have ever purchased and I'm a lifer now. When I ordered these I figured they would be just like any other heel but they far exceeded my expectations. They are so stunning on and yet so simple. They do have a curve on the front of the shoe which can be a little tough to get used to if you haven't owned a pair of heels like that before but it makes the heel super comfortable and easier to wear and walk around in for extended periods of time. I love these so much I'm going to buy a second pair in the nude. These are definitely a must buy!"
