These shoes are BEAUTIFUL but INCREDIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE and have ZERO in the way of arch support. I was a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding and she requested that we each wear gold shoes so I bought these. I barely survived standing during the ceremony and taking photos after was tortuous. As soon as pictures were done I had to take these off and switched into a pair of flat sandals to wear for the duration of the day.  Wish I could have worn these for longer since I paid $200 for them but I just couldn't do it, at least my feet will look amazing in all the pictures we took. I own a pair of Michael Kors heels that are the same height but I can comfortably wear them and walk in them for hours. If these had been more comfortable I would have given them 5 stars hands down, but I only gave them 3 because I couldn't even last more than an hour wearing them.
