"I never wear heels anymore, so I needed something that would have a lot of support, but still dressy enough for a formal event. The gold shimmer of the shoe material was just the right amount of "bling" to make these shoes perfect for a formal outfit. The heel height had me a little concerned, as I knew I would be standing a lot at the event, but having all the straps on top for support made these shoes extremely comfortable for several hours. I got tons of compliments, also, which is even more important than comfort!"
