These shoes are sooooo pretty...they are very elegant and the colour just what I needed. The heel is perfect and you feel as though you can run, jump and skip in them. But alas after about 2hrs I started to feel as if my feet were dying (I sit a lot and I'm usually in front of a camera) they ached and I could not determine the specific irritant, I could not point out the point of acute discomfort.  There was a gradual intensification of the general discomfort which to this day I cannot point to its origins.My feet rejected this shoe.emphatically and when I see them I become angry. I love love love nine west....these were a sad mistake. What makes it worse is the little ankle strap..... this made it impossible for me to slip them off unobtrusively when the discomfort reached unbearable levels. You may have a better outcome , but I've given you fair warning...DO NOT BUY THESE SHOES they have been sent from an alien planet to cripple female earthlings.
