These shoes are gorgeous! They feel fairly stable to walk in for this type of shoe, the suede material is nice, and there is some cushion for the feet. It would have been nice if there was a little more cushion for comfort, but overall a good shoe.I saw a few reviews that said the ankle strap chafed/scratched them but I didn't have that problem. I had to buy half a size up because the size 5 was sold out on every single website, so the adjustable ankle strap was such a big life saver. The thing that actually kind of hurt my feet was the vamp (the thing that covers your toes) but I didn't get any blisters from it at all. I wore these shoes to prom and had them on for 6 hours straight- walking on uneven pavement, on hills, dancing- and didn't have to take them off once. The thick platform makes the shoe a lot more comfortable and the thick heel makes it more stable.I love everything about this shoe but the heel is too long for me.Beautiful, comfortable and work-appropriate yet night-out-capable shoe for the money! Only complaint is that it scuffs very easily, in a kind of waxy look; rubs out just as easily, though. ? Chinese Laundry!So comfy super easy to walk in and this is my first pair of big heelsI was worried that the 7 1/2 wouldn’t fit around my toes because my feet are on the wider side but they fit perfectly!These shoes are very tall but are easy to walk in because of the platform. They’re beautiful on!AMAZING!! Best Chinese Laundry shoe by farThe shoes are absolutely beautiful, good quality , they came in good condition, and they fit perfectly. They're also very comfortable to walk in.
