These shoes are absolutely divine! They are EXACTLY as the photos show. So gorgeous! In terms of comfort, for being quite a high heel, the comfort is like no other heel I've had. With no inserts required, the initial few hours are completely pain free with no weird rubbing and blistering. After about 5-6 hours, the usual pain associated with standing and walking in heels will occur (as they have for me), but I really made those shoes WORK. However, instead of the horrible pain when I have to take my shoes off, it was more mild and easy to ignore. 10/10! I will definitely be a customer again. :)
