Bought these in size 8C, my feet swell or grew since I turned 60.  First, they are awesome looking, a beautiful shoe.  However they are tight thru the toes and the heels are a solid 3&#34; and a bit higher than I wanted for my bad back.  Did I mention beautiful, I love their look!  I wanted to order them in navy or even red but my first pair were $25, and now they are $40 to $60.  Yikes!  I hope when I wear them over 5 minutes, I can say they are comfy.  The larger diameter heel I hope will make me steady on my feet and help the comfort.  I'll add an additional note if they are more comfortable in the wearing at an event.<br />Striking shoe, I was very amazed.
