"I am not a frequent heel wearer and a even more infrequent stiletto wearer. However, these shoes were comfortable from the get-go, though I'm sure my ankles and balls of my feet won't feel that way after hours in these shoes (but that's more because of my inexperience w/stilettos). The vamp strap across the toes is indeed a little tight, but upon inspection and a little stretching, the leather is durable and malleable, so they definitely have a little give. It will help to pad the strap as well, which I plan to do.
The ankle strap is sturdy and holds my feet in place much better than if it was a simple thin ankle strap. The strap is not painful and adjusts well. The rest of the shoe seems pretty well made, but it's definitely not the best (there's some uneven gluing). For the price, though, this is a great buy."

Pretty, mostly comfortable, bad ankle strap
"This is a beautiful, heel and quite high. Unfortunately, the ankle strap hits at a higher point on the ankle/almost shin, and it rubs and cuts into your ankle when you are walking or standing with your weight on the wrong parts of the ball of your toes. I decided not to keep these because they were more style over comfort when it came to the ankles, and I think that the overall shoe comfort is not the best it could be."
