I really can't speak to how these shoes feel after wearing them for any length of time, because I didn't wear them at all except to try them on. I was very disappointed upon doing that. First, let me start by saying the color was not what I was expecting. I ordered the 'gold' and it was more of a pearlescent light cream rather than metallic gold. First disappointment. Then I tried them on and the strap vamp (where it crisscrosses across the top of the foot) was about 1/2&#34; above the top of my foot. There is no way to adjust those straps and it looked just silly with not fitting the foot. The shoes themselves felt good for being such a high heel, but that was as far as it went. They're going back and my search for comfortable, metallic gold high heel shoes continues.
