I can only speak for myself but I think these shoes would be better suited for a younger woman.  They are very blingy which isn't a bad thing.  I haven't worn them out of the house yet because I am afraid they will hurt if I walk on them for more than an hour or so.  I'm keeping them because I have 2 daughters who may wear them and who knows I may come across an outfit they would be perfect for in which case I might be more willing to suffer a little foot cramp. ;)
