I searched high and low for the perfect pair of wedge sandals - I really wanted a neutral color with a sturdy platform that would go with everything, and these fit the bill. The sturdy platform helps with stability and makes the 4 inch heel manageable, the design of the leather upper is just interesting enough without being overdone. For me the color is perfection - it's just about the same as my skin tone, so it makes my legs look longer :)<br /><br />The only problem I had was with the quality of production - the first pair I ordered had a big blob of glue (or maybe excess leather stain?) on the toe strap, so I sent back for an exchange. Then the second pair had big patches of cork missing form the heel! There were nickel-sizes spots of bare base showing through, it kind of looked like band-aid material. Fortunately when I sent those back, the 3rd pair was fine. Lucky, because that was the last pair in my size that Amazon had. After all the annoyance, I am really happy with these shoes.
