Joan & David Reviews
The minute these arrived I had made a mistake. I didn't notice that in addition to studs, they have rhinestones on them. This is not what I was looking for, but the quality of them very nice. I am returning, but if you want something with razzle dazzle, the style is cute. I have narrowish feet, and these were too wide, gapping across the front.
These are my dream shoes. They are not comfortable...but they are no different to me than any other high heel - they are beautiful.
The Coral looked beautiful to me online. However, they aren't nearly so "bright" in person. Shoes are okay, not especially comfortable, yet not really uncomfortable. Just can't get past the pale coral color. Not at all what I was expecting.
Can I give these ten stars? At first blush I was just slightly disappointed with the color because on the three monitors I've viewed these sandals, the orange color looks like a bright but deep shade of tangerine. In reality, they're coral. Almost the shade of matte coral lipstick (of course these are shiny patent, not matte). But then I put one on, then two, and then Oh My! Total shoegasm! (I'm coining that word right now.) True to size and super comfortable, especially for this heel height. Often this style of sandal rubs on the cuticle of my big toe, but the straps are positioned just far enough back that this isn't a problem at all. They look fabulous on, and well, the color instantly became perfect, and I decided I wouldn't like them as nearly as well if they were dark orange anyway. These will work great with navy, teal or turquoise, and I'd even push it to kelly green pants and skirts. I have an ivory and black geometric print dress that may be great, too. These were a splurge at the cost -- I usually wait for sales. But I think they're my favorite sandals. Ever. And that erases all my guilt.
I'm not new to heels. I wear heels just about every day in my profession. However, I clearly made a mistake when I bought these. Don't buy these shoes unless you want to suffer each time you wear them! I purchased these for an event and ordered the correct size. After wearing them for only 20 min, it became apparent that they were not comfortable. After wearing them for about 3 hours (and having to take them off every 10 min to allow my feet to rest), I've decided I can never wear them again. Even after I took them off for the night and slipped on comfortable shoes, my feet continued to ache. They are not worth the pain or the money! I do love Zappos just not these shoes.
It's darker red (and more purple, too) than in the photo, but still a very nice looking shoe. There's decent padding in the toe bed, which makes me think it might be relatively comfortable, but unfortunately I could not walk in these because they were too big. They run a full size large. (I am normally a 9, and the 8.5 was still too big on me.)
Show off your stems! When going out in the winter and it's 15 degrees you can't always wear open toed shoes. These are a great alternative. When going out in the winter and it's 15 degrees you can't always wear open toed shoes. These are a great alternative.
These shoes are amazing. You would never think they are so tall when wearing them because they are so comfortable. I have them in both black and bright blue patent and love them both. Able to walk around in them all day without my feet hurting. They have very nice padding and the extra platform helps balance you out. My go to pair of heels in my closet. Both extremely sexy and authoritative.
Very uncomfortable and bad workmanship for such a spendy shoe. The colored gluing between the platform and the front outside toe ran over the patent leather. Very disappointed with the shoe.
Love these shoes, but they are not really gray - more olive/golden tones. Beautiful, but they just don't match the dress I wanted them for, and maybe they run a smidge large.
I just got mine this week and I must say they are absolutely stunning. They are the most comfortable heels I've owned. I wore them to work for 10 hours and they were still great. Great cushioning. I have slightly longer toes so these fit true to size. I know the reviews said to order a half size bigger but they fit me true to size. Perfect for the transition from day to night also. Love them! I'm waiting for more colors to come in to order more. A bit pricey but worth it!
This heel has more cushion and padding for shock absorption than most of the other heels. The inner craftsmanship is what you are paying more money for. However, although they are more comfortable, I didn't like the cut of the front of the toe-box across the front of the foot. They were more "little girl / Mary Jane" looking than what I prefer. I was going for more of a sophisticated / sexy cut for the toe box, and decided on a pair of Steve Maddens that had that feature. These would be perfect for a conservative office place, or someone going for a classy look.
The best shoe I own. Usually I have troubles with closed toed heels (I have a very wide toe box) but these shoes are so comfortable. The heel makes my legs look incredible, yet it feels like a kitten heel! I can wear them all day 5 days a week. This shoe is definitely worth the money. I would get a half size smaller than normal. Once they are broken in, they are perfect.
This is the quintessential pump that every woman should own. It's quality is superior, for a heel it's very comfortable, and your legs look incredible! They might be pricey to some people, but you will get years and years of wear out of them. They are worth every penny. The shoes are even more gorgeous in person. I am usually a 9 but occasionally do an 8.5. The 8.5 fit perfect.
I love these shoes! I found the shoes to run a little big, but that was okay because I was able to insert the foot petals for extra comfort. The shoes are sexy and can be dressed up for a night out or dressed with a pair of jeans. A definite must have!
The shoes are sexy hot! I've received so many compliments on it already and love it. I have to admit that my feet are killing me, but it is worth the pain. I normally wear a size 6, but ordered a 5 based on the other reviews saying that is runs big. I like that my heels are not lifting out, but my toes feel cramped. I am hoping that as I wear it throughout the day, it will give a little so that my toes are not tortured. I would recommend going with your normal size.
Okay; I do not know what Joan & David are talking about going down a size, because they run big. I wear a 8 in every shoe, and I ordered a 7½. Boy, my dogs were barking just from trying them on! I started developing toe cramps because my feet were bunched up on the sides where my pinky toes are. Do not listen to them. I am returning them and ordering a 8½ for both pairs I bought. They are very, very narrow. Be careful!
This shoe is not brown enough for me. Wanted a chocolate brown. Shoe is nice, but I did not like the visible platform seam.
I love the color of the dark red patent shoes in the picture, but when I got them they looked more burgundy than red. These shoes are much more comfortable than other pumps I have. I have wide feet and these fit well. I never know what size to order because sometimes I am a size 8.5 and other times a 9. I ordered both and for these shoes I found that the 9 was a much better fit. I also wasn't crazy about the toe cleavage, but these shoes are beautiful.
