I wore these shoes on my wedding day and they were so comfortable! I wore them for so long, on the grass, in the sand, and dancing for awhile! Loved them.

I ordered the Coloriffics Desire along with 2 other pairs of potential wedding day shoes. These won hands down. I like the style - they're classy and a little sexy. I have only encountered two issues as I've been breaking them in: I ordered a 9.5, which is my usual size. They're a little bit big, but not big enough to go down to a 9. I will likely buy one of the heel inserts. Also, the strap that goes across the toe cuts a little bit - but I'm hoping that as I wear it around the house it will break in. All in all, I love the shoe and am looking forward to wearing it for my wedding!

I bought these shoes in silver for a friend's wedding about 2 months ago. Not only did they totally complement the mint green dress that I wore, but they were unbelievably comfortable. I like high heels, but don't wear them much, and bought them thinking I would be kicking them off half way through the night, but they really surprised me. In fact, I found them so great that I just bought the white pair to wear for my wedding in a couple of weeks! They are very true to size (I do have a narrow foot) and again, very comfortable for the height! Plus, they are incredibly sexy and elegant at the same time! I should probably save myself some time in the future and just get the black ones, too! As my mother always says: if the shoe fits, buy it in every color!

These shoes are even better-looking than the photo suggests. I bought them for my wedding, and they work well with a light ivory dress. Granted, I have only worn them for alterations so far, but if you\'re looking at this shoe, you can handle a heel. Hey, it\'s only for one day (one of the more important ones in your life). Enjoy!

Pretty Shoes - Very nice and pretty, but felt a little bigger than my usual size. The heel, as mostly everyone has said, is definitely like a 4 inch heel. Needless to say, they were shipped back to Zappos. Still on the hunt for the perfect bridal shoe.

Gorgeous, but painful - IMO... these are really pretty shoes, but they are very narrow and I found them uncomfortable, especially when you need to wear them for about 6-7 hours.

Beautiful Wedding Shoes - I purchased these shoes for my upcoming wedding on April 17 and am extremely happy that I did. I had already purchased a pair of shoes a few months back but decided that I couldn't wear them because they were just so uncomfortable, even after stretching. I looked on Zappos and found these, read the reviews and decided to try them. They were shipped to me the next day in perfect condition and are an exact match for my ivory dress. I tried them on and they were perfect. The description says they are 3 1/2 inches (I believe) but they are definitely more like 4. I would recommend these shoes and Zappos to any bride or anyone shopping for shoes. I love you guys!!

Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Arch: No arch support Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked
Cute but Painful! These shoes are very attractive, but do not fit at all. I wore them for only an hour for a fitting for my dress and I couldn't wait to take them off. I ordered a half size smaller than I normally wear, based off the reviews, but the straps were tight and the back slipped off. I do not want to take the chance of adding padding and still not being comfortable in them...so I have to send them back.

Perfect Wedding Shoe - This shoe is gorgeous and pretty comfy. I only gave it 4 stars because with a heel this high, it ain't gonna feel like a sneaker. I felt that it ran a tad large though. I am usually a solid 5.5, but I needed to use sizers for these shoes to stay on my feet. With a rubber pad slipped in the back, it fit perfectly. I wish my wedding dress wasn't so long, so you could see more of the shoe!

GREAT DEAL FOR BRIDES - LOVE THEM! I bought these for my wine country wedding. I was somewhat skeptical because they were so affordable, but they look amazing with my dress and are super comfortable as an added bonus!! The only thing I needed to add were rubber heel grips from the drug store (less than $5), since the heels slip off when I walk. These shoes are a great deal and I recommend them to any bride!

Wedding Shoe - These shoes are really comfortable - nothing pinches your pinky toe and I love the detail. The only bad part was that the heel was very high, but I knew I loved these shoes. I took them to a shoemaker/shoe repair shop and for $15 he took a 1/2 in off the heel. It was absolutely worth the extra money. NOW they are the perfect shoe for my wedding!

These shoes are so pretty! They look great with a dress/skirt or pants. I thought they were a little narrower than expected and the heel was higher than described, but overall, really nice shoes.

A beautiful shoe, but unfortunately the heel at the bottom does not extend far enough and after one month of walking in them the heel was torn and worn. I can imagine it will happen to almost anyone else who buys them. But for that problem, they were otherwise a perfect shoe for every day wear.

Had high hopes - This is a gorgeous shoe and fit perfectly when I first put it on. But, I wanted to break them in (as suggested by other reviewers) and they quickly stretched out and started popping off the back of my foot within a few walks around the house. I would have returned them if I'd had time. It's a shame because they were actually COMFORTABLE for 4 inchers. They just didn't stay on.

Beautiful and sexy looking shoe, fits true to size like a lot of shoes, feels good trying them on. But did feel tight around the toes after awhile. I’m breaking them in, wearing them around the house; my dgtr's wedding is the end of Sept.

Good wedding shoe, considering - First, the ad says the heel is 3 1/2 inches - it's closer to 4 inches. Half an inch makes a huge difference. It definitely puts more strain on the balls of your feet and your ankles. My husband is 9 inches taller than I am, so I made the sacrifice so our wedding photos didn't look funny. I walked around the house in them a LOT prior to the wedding to break them in and to get used to walking in such high heels. However, I wore them from 4pm-11:30pm (on my feet nearly the entire time) without taking them off. That's right - no barefoot dancing at my wedding. There certainly was some discomfort, and once I took them off there was no way I could get them back on. My bridesmaids said my foot print was indented into the sole of the shoe (yes, indented). And for the next 2 days I could only wear very padded flip-flops b/c the balls of my feet hurt so bad (and my pinky toes were tingling for 3 days). But, beauty is pain and the shoes looked really elegant. So, long story short - I was able to wear them for almost 8 hours straight. You be the judge. Oh, if you're in between sizes, I recommend going larger.

Break 'em in girls! Well...let me tell you. These looked STUNNING. I had a 50's style, tea length dress and this shoe was beyond perfect. I managed them for about an hour before my feet hurt and had to slip into some little ballerina slippers for the meal. If I had broken them in I believe it would have gotten rid of most of the problems. They didn't rub anywhere, but were a bit tight across the toes which rules out pads for the balls of your feet. Hope this helps!

Not bad, but... I bought these for a wedding I'm going to be in and ended up returning them for two reasons: the heel is four inches, not three and a half as marked; also, the width is too narrow for my foot. Below I indicated the shoe felt true to width because I do tend to have a wide foot, but I am usually able to get away with standard width.

Awesome Shoes! These shoes are perfect for my wedding day! The ivory is perfect and matches my dress very well. I usually wear a 7.5 or an 8 (most often a 7.5), so based on reviews I ordered a 7.5 and they fit great! They are a little high - I agree with the other reviewers in that the heel is more like 4 inches. For me this works great, though, because now I won't need to get my dress hemmed. They are definitely tall and may require some practice, but they are so elegant and sexy that it will be worth it!
