I broke down and finally bought a pair after seeing them featured on the usual high profile fashion sites. Saw a few dozen photos of celebs wearing these puppies too. Let me me tell you the leather is baby butt soft. The heel is perfect height for confidence, perfect clip clop sound, perfectly designed for comfort. I was surprised how munch I loved these. It haven't even had these a full week and I'm eyeballing my next pair in whiskey. Gotta wait till the boyfriend goes camping this weekend so I can sneak them into the house. At 400 a pop. I'm like dang, hope my IRA doesn't suffer too badly to support my RC shoe addiction. LOL.<br /><br />(edited) everyone commenting on the fit, these just need to be broke in like a week or so. not bad at all. my friend got hers stretched. the reason for this updateds review, granted i love these boots and am wearing my whiskey colored ine right now, but take a look at my black ones. in the pic you can see the heel starting to separate from the itself on the left shoe i noticed this about a month ago. very dissapointing. these shoes are just too expensive and honestly barely any wear. i have a lot of shoes, probably wear atleast a different shoe every day of the week, so max thats about 20 wears, not even walking to work, i bring my heels with me and change into them at work. i dont think i can return this at amazon, im pretty bummed.
