Wanted to love these, but...
" While I liked the color, I didn't not like the look of the material (looks inexpensive) nor the fit of the straps. The ankle and middle straps were way too baggy around my foot. The insole fit was perfect, I only wish the straps fit better. They would've been ok with pants I suppose, but with a dress/skirt it would've looked unsightly. I wear a lot of skirts/dresses; I returned them.

I wish the ankle strap was longer...

" Cute shoe, flattering on feet...only wish the ankle strap was longer. I have relatively normal ankles, not large...but the allotted holes and strap barely fit...or I should say I found it a struggle to put on.
(this is the only reason I could not give it 5 stars)
Anywho, I would recommend to a friend as long as they don't have larger ankles. ;)

Extremely cute...a little uncomfortable

" Went to the local store to buy something totally different, but could not leave the store without these shoes! The pix online (and perhaps the pix I post) don't do them full justice...they are gorgeous! I got plenty of compliments the night I wore them (as a matter of fact my niece walked me to my car and asked me to drive home barefoot so that she can borrow them for her next outing!).
I am accustomed to wearing 4" heels (or higher), but found these to be quite steep. They don't have a platform (the platform trend is fading, so we better get used to it, but...) that could've been the difference. I still had no problems dancing, walking and didn't feel they were so uncomfortable that I wouldn't wear them again. I actually can't wait to wear them again, but I will make sure it isn't a very long night/outing.
Only two warnings: no platform, so they may feel steeper than other shoes with the same heel height and they're so adorable someone may steal them right off your feet! :)

" I was not looking for these shoes, but for some reason could not leave the store without them! They are a radiant shade of blue, depending on the lighting they almost appear purple (the picture on the listing is accurate) and the suede is very good quality.
I generally wear 4"-5" heels, so I like the idea of the hidden wedge (doesn't feel as flat as they appear, lol). I wore them all day at work and I must admit that these felt a little tight across the foot (like where a bunion would be) by the end of the day. Since they are real suede I figure they'll conform to my foot after I wear them a couple more times.
Overall they are pretty comfortable and I would recommend them to others with a narrow to normal width foot. I wore them with business casual attire, but also plan to wear them with jeans. Versatile. Cute. Now that I see them in green...well, I'm almost certain I'll get them, too. (blush)

love it!
" Happened along this around Christmas time while searching for gifts for other, it was on sale and I ended up keeping it for myself. I am a satchel person and since purchasing this one - it's the only one I use!
Great quality, although it's faux leather it looks genuine. It is pretty big, but I don't mind - I stuff larger bags with old t-shirts and things like that to maintain the shape!
Pretty awesome bag... "

Adorable
" The stylists all say that pointy flats are in, so I was on a mission to find at least a pair. :) I found these and got them in both black and silver. They are adorable and comfortable. I have worn them to work and for errands - they're versatile!
The only reason I didn't give 5 stars - if I don't walk just so the front (the pointed part that my toes don't fit in) bends a little, so there is a slight crease across the very tip of the shoe. Perhaps that's to be expected with pointy shoes, but I felt the need to say it. "

I loved them until...
" The first time I wore them was to a conference and I received a lot of compliments. The ankle strap fit fine, as I was able to adjust it, but the first strap that connects to the t-strap was a little baggy (I got size 11 for a little more room in the toe area, but the size 10 strap fit a little better). Just after our lunch break I sat down with my co-workers and one of them informed me that something was amiss with my heel. Yup, the entire heel (like the bottom of the heel that a cobbler replaces) was worn to the numb - ie, the inside pin! I was so embarrassed - the right one was worn more than I would have expected, too, but not nearly as bad as the left. Although these came with a set of replacement heels I returned these to the store - it is THEE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY THAT I RETURNED USED SHOES TO DSW! I called "Shoephoria" first to even see if it was doable and the rep noted my acct and told me to take them to a store of my choice and if they had an issue they could see the note on my acct. However, I didn't really have an issue. I didn't get a refund, I got a store credit and that's fine with me, too.
I don't think I could recommend these to a friend, as they wore out way too fast (the heel wore out too fast, the sole was barely scraped!) especially for the price. Sorry.

" The online pictures do not reflect the true beauty of these shoes! The stones on them really gleam in the lights...I put them on in the store and several people saw them on me and went to try them on. I think a few of us purchased a pair that day!
I must caution that I can wear anywhere between a 10-11 in sandals, I got a 9.5 in these. There wasn't much difference between the 9's and 10's with regard to the toe area - there was less gaping in the ankle area though. You will definitely need to get a smaller size.
These are an outfit all by themselves - just add that quintessential, little black dress you have in your closet and you're ready to go!
I went out for a night on the town in these and people were actually taking pix of my feet in them...these are MUST HAVES!

Delicious!
" Discovered these completely by accident...the light caught them and I was mesmerized! The pix on the site - although awesome - don't do this shoe justice! I put them on and walked to a full-length mirror in the store and then three people went over and started trying them on! If they have that effect in the store imagine how much attention you'll get out on the town!?!
They run about a half size large (I generally wear a 10 - I bought a 9.5 because they fit better around the ankle - not much different in the toe area).
These are an instant outfit...just throw on that quintessential, little black dress with these shoes and wah-lah!!

" I found the tobacco colored pumps in store and loved them instantly. Firstly, in SM shoes I generally need a size larger - but these fit just fine! The high platform in the front makes the heel feel much shorter - this making the shoe more comfortable. The peep hole is current, as other makers are doing the same, and keeps the shoe from being just another peeptoe pumps - they're. Intersting! They're also versatile...I've worn them with a pencil skirt to work, a leopard dress out on the town and jeans and a tee when running errands!
Found the black ones online and rushed to order them, however they didn't have the same effect on me. They'll be returned...they look like just another black shoe to me. Colors make this shoe pop...go for color! ;) "

wanted to love these, but....
" they run short! I am unable to go larger - as I usually wear a size 10, but ordered these in size 11 (they don't sell them any larger). :(
Otherwise they are great...the patent leather is of a higher quality, the heel is very well made.
I would recommend these to others if they could get them in a much larger size. Couldn't give more than 3 stars because of the fit. "

quintessential pump - had to buy more than one!
" I bought these in camel, some time ago, and liked them a lot. They were the updated camel pumps my collection lacked.
But, recently I bought them in black (by Nine West, but same exact shoe) and fell in love with them! They are must haves, as they can go from day to night and could be paired with business attire or skinny/straight leg jeans just the same!
They were quite comfortable from day one - no breaking in necessary. After wearing the black pair a couple times I decided I better get another black pair ASAP (just in case...you know, a back up pair). DSW.com is always open and usually has my size...these arrived the very next day, ahhhhh!! ;) "

Images for this Review

" These are cute, comfortable and reasonably priced and just what I was looking for (round toe, platform high-heeled pump) to possible replace my others. I actually bought two pair of these because I really felt they fit the bill! BUT, the first time I wore one pair I got a "snag" in the platform part and was unable to reshape the material back into place! And, trust me, I wear 5" heels all day everyday…so it's not like I tripped, can't walk in heels, or did anything like that! I am very disappointed, I doubt a shoe repair guy can do anything fix it either.
I can't "recommend" these to anyone or give it more than 3 starts. As a matter of fact, I am returning my other pair, at this I don't feel I got my money's worth out of the first pair as I can't wear these again (see pix). If I were you I would spend the extra money to get real leather! "

" Cut out design and rhinestone detailing - adorable, to say the least! The fit was ok in the length, around my ankle it gaped a little - but not enough to be alarming (I have narrow ankles, I think, so I'm used to slight gaping). But, I could not get past the tie up heel. Even with pulling the strings as tight as possible, I was never able to tie it so that my foot would not move too much (heel up and down). I knew that, although they would garnish many compliments, I would not be comfortable in them. When I tried them on I felt myself adjusting the way I walk (to something that was not "normal") in an attempt to prevent excessive movement. So, I had to return them.

" Ugh! I loved the look of these on my feet in the store - got them on clearance - was so excited.
But, the first time I wore them they hurt the balls (and what would be the "bunion" area) of my feet so bad that I had to take them off mid way through my work day! I received a lot of compliments on the bootie, as I wore them to an office holiday party with textured tights and a skirt suit...but never again do I plan to wear these. I may just sell them on eBay for whatever I can get for them!
I wear heels everyday all day, so this type reaction is very rare for me! Not good, not good at all! "

" I tried on several pair of over the knee or thigh-high boots and these not only fit my slimmer leg, they also came up the furtherest on my thigh! I am 6'1" and a 21" shaft only barely passed my knee, so I really love and appreciate the 24" shaft of this boot.
Tried them on in the store and several people told me the boots look great on me, but they would not be able to wear these - because they would come up too far on theIR thighs.
The material is nice - doesn't look too cheap - and there is no zipper...just pull them on/off!
I am posting two pix - keep in mind I am 6'1" and a size 8 in pants - hopefully that will help you determine if these might fit. you
Also, I generally wear a size 10, but I was able to fit a 9.5 comfortably - with stockings on my feet! "

The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because the heel is covered in suede - I find that my heels get destroyed first and suede is harder than probably any heel to repair. "
