Wide Calves Beware...
" I found these at my local DSW and was instantly enamored. The chunky heel and platform is so retro, and the boot is surprisingly thick and durable. There is ample padding to keep you warm in the cold winter months. My only gripe is that they are snug around the calves. I have slightly wider calves and I could barely zip them up. Even if you have normal calves, you might barely have room for jeans or leggings. I'm hoping that they will loosen up with a few wears, but it isn't a deal breaker since they are so gorgeous otherwise. I will make them work! "

" Seeing as I got this bag for free, I can't say too many negative things about it! Very nice size, large enough to carry books to class but it may be too large for everyday use. I was concerned that the braided metal straps might be too bulky or heavy, but the bag is actually pretty lightweight and surprisingly comfortable. The matching wallet/coin pouch is a bonus! "

" These are SO comfortable! They do accommodate wider feet better than narrow feet. Unfortunately they didn't have black in my size, so I went with the cream color and they are a nice color. I could walk in these for many hours with no aches and pains! Worth every penny. "

" My first thought out of the box, was that they smell delicious! They are slightly narrow at the toes because of the way the straps have been incorporated into the shoe. I haven't worn the shoes beyond just walking around the house in them, but I can definitely foresee them being uncomfortable for my wider feet. I may return them, but haven't decided. They are so cute otherwise! "

" I am obsessed with ankle boots this season, and found these at my local DSW. They are very light and comfortable. The wedge isn't very high (in my standards), so they are stable and very easy to walk in. My only two concerns are whether or not the soles are grippy enough for MN winters, and the fact that it's suede. I don't think suede is a very practical fabric for winter shoes, but that's just a personal preference. "

" I love the overall look of this shoe. It's a classic done with a unique heel shape. Unfortunately, they didn't work out for me. I have wider feet than normal and they squished my toes a bit. I even tried going half-size up but then my heels fell out too much to make them work. Such a shame, because they are so pretty. :( "

" I found these in my local DSW on clearance, and decided to try them on. Much like other BCBG shoes I own, they run slightly short. I went half-size up for these and they were perfect. The butter color is gorgeous and feminine, and the heel is very steady and easy to walk in. The ankle strap is a bit loose and floppy, but that's about the only negative I have to say about this shoe. Can't wait for warmer weather again! "

" I love these!! They are very comfortable and light. The wedge makes them easy to walk in. The pony hair gives them a unique and luxurious look, definitely more high-end than the price would suggest. The leopard is a fun and playful alternative to black, yet still goes with everything! Highly recommend. "

I'm A Little Torn...
" I fell in love with these the moment I spotted them online months ago, and I recently ran across them for an excellent price (over 50% off!!) and had to have them. I'm a little torn on whether or not I love them, though. You have to untie the back to get them on your feet, which would be fine but I had a hard time trying to get the laces back on tight enough. They are made of leather so they're rather stiff. The heel itself isn't very high, but there is no platform and the instep is steep, so it makes them feel higher. There is also very little padding, so they are not comfortable for extended wear. I would recommend inserts for these. I also felt they ran half-size small. I am usually between 6.5-7 and ordered the 7, and my heels stick out a little.
As far as how they look: After I am able to struggle with the laces and get them on, they look great from the side. From the front, I felt the excess fabric made my feet look a little huge and wide. The top edge of the shoe where your ankles are is a bit scratchy, too...definitely cumbersome if you are walking in them a lot.
I know I listed a lot of negatives, but they really are a gorgeous shoe. I will most likely switch my laces out with ones that aren't as stiff, and put some much-needed padding in the insoles. For the price I snagged them for, I think they will work nicely!! "

Read Before Purchasing!!
" I own all three colors of the Bebe Amuse wedge, and love them. They are NOT for the inexperienced as they are very tall and the soles are rather small. Also, the bottoms are very slippery, there is NO GRIP OR TREADS. I had to scrub the bottoms down to get a little traction on them - or you can use sole stoppers.
If you are experienced at wearing heels, these are really comfortable and you can learn to walk in them rather easily (though I recommend trying them around the house first). The colors are great and go with everything, and the suede is soft and beautiful. Though you may not notice it from the picture, there is are silk-like piping around the cross straps which I think is gorgeous. :) "

Awesome Platforms
" I've been wanting a pair of these forever, but couldn't afford the designer brand. I'm so glad I found these for a much more affordable price point. They smell a bit funny right out of the box (faux leather?), but they fit great and look cute. I got the black and it goes with everything!! I'm excited for the tan color as well. :) "

Hello, Lover~
" I was ecstatic when I found the fuschia color on the website, so I had to order them, even though only 6.5 was available (I am normally a 7). Luckily, they fit just fine and they are super cute and sexy at the same time!! Remind me of something Carrie would wear on SATC. The bow drapes nicely over the front, and the ankle cuff stays on good, though a bit on the loose side. They are easy to walk in as well. I would love to own more colors! "

" I took my boyfriend to DSW to look for some comfortable shoes he could wear to work, and these were the ones he picked out. They were the most comfortable, and the price was an added bonus! "

Comfy Sneakers
" When my feet need a break from high heels and other painfully beautiful shoes, I slip on my Converse and hear them breathe a sigh of relief. I found these for a great price at my local DSW, and true to other Converse sneakers I've owned, they are great for when you just want to be casual. "

My Go-To Summer Shoe
" I found these on the clearance rack at my local DSW and I was smitten. I immediately tried them on and walked a few laps around the store in them (LOL), and they are so comfortable!! The buckles are adjustable, so if they feel too tight or loose at a particular area you can customize it - this helped me tremendously! After a few adjustments, they are one of the most comfortable wedges I own! Love. "

Happy 20th, DSW!!
" I love my Anniversary Tote; however, I only gave it 4 stars because it's not very practical. The fabric looks like it could get dirty very easily, and I don't want to ruin it. Also, the fabric is not "sturdy" enough to have been paired with the heavy metal straps, which unfortunately makes the bag droop and sag when there's not a lot in it - it certainly does not stand on it's own when you put it down, so you have to hang it on a hook or set it on a chair carefully as to not spill the contents. I would consider getting a second tote just so I can have at least one that will never look dirty, but that's not practical either!! Haha. "

Buckle Beauty
" Report Signature always has such great styles! The pictures do not do this one justice. I wasn't entirely sure if I would like them, but upon receiving them I was so glad I took the leap of faith!! The details on the strap are lovely, and all the buckles are actually adjustable! This is especially great for wide or narrow feet, since you can tighten or loosen them to what feels right for you. I had to tighten the buckle around my ankles all the way and loosen the buckle around the toe (I have wide feet), and they fit perfect! The little wood heel is comfortable and gives you a little boost. Love!! "

You Need These!
" This is one very awesome shoe. I own a lot of Sam Edelman shoes and he rarely disappoints. These fit like a glove and accommodate all foot types. My feet are slightly wide and all I had to do was adjust the laces by loosening them a little and VOILA! Custom fit. The small heel helps make them feel comfy for extended wear, since they're not too flat along the bottom. I want these in all the colors now!! "

" Much like the other reviewers mentioned, the elastic is pretty tight. As others have suggested, I went ahead and pulled as hard as I could until I snapped the elastic band within the fabric -- they now feel much more comfortable and wearable. Aside from this minor drawback which is easily remedied, I think they are a really nice sandal. "

Gladiator Love!
" I love wearing metallic hues as a neutral during summer, it's so much more fun than the average black. These gladiator sandals got so much attention, and I received a lot of compliments. My feet run slightly wide, and these were still comfortable and looked great. Highly recommend! "
