They are beautiful looking shoes, but I'll tell you what - I tried them on last week just to see how they looked and they were horribly uncomfortable. The heel/wedge is so tall and oddly shaped that I couldn't even walk around the store in them, and the back strap didn't stay on my heel at all, even when I tried on a smaller size. I don't know if it was just my foot or what, but they flew off my feet. Even if you didn't have that problem - they were so uncomfortable, I wouldn't have been able to wear them anywhere. I know that's not what you want to hear, but I don't want you to waste your money on shoes that are that uncomfy. HTH!
