beautiful shoe - would be better if leather, rather than suede leather since everything sticks to suede and it gets ruined so easily, but still they are beautiful.<br />The heel is 4&#34; stilletto so expect to have pain for the beauty.<br />Padding is minimal, could be better for the heel height.<br />These are beautiful, wear short term heels, unless you are 20 and can handle the pain ;-)<br />Bottom of shoes wear quickly but again, you probably will only wear these for an hour or 2 at a time.<br />The fringe is both pretty and flattering to the foot.<br />Small complaint in design is that the angle wrap part is inconsistent - tight on one shoe and loose on the other (I have small, narrow feet).<br />My low stars is based on Price vs Look, design, quality, comfort, materials, and durability.<br />I got them in both black and tan (black shows every spec of dust and dirt that is within a mile of you (just fyi).
