I ordered the shoes for an upcoming wedding. Didn't like the toe cleavage on these, and they were not very comfortable. I decided on another style I ordered at the same time from Zappos. Can't praise you enough for the wonderful customer service! You are my "go-to" shoe people!

I love this boot i purchased this boot at Martin and Osa also on sale in the grey color. I have a wide calf and the boot fit perfectly up my leg still leaving room for me to pair it with jeans. I will be purchasing the black ones next. This boot is extremely comfortable and looks great!

Wonderful! Fits true to size. I feel like I could walk a mile in these boots. Also, being a petite 5'1", the shaft height is perfect! I wish that Dolce Vita made a pair exactly like these with a heel. I'm considering buying a pair in black.

These boots are very cute and just the right height to be comfortable, but still look great. I wear an 8.5, but they were too small so I had to exchange them for a 9. I would recommend that you order a half size larger than you normally wear. My only complaint is that they don\'t have very much cushion in the sole so I think I\'ll get a gel insert for them. Overall, I\'m very happy with these and will consider buying them in black too! :)

Would be perfect if heel caps didn't come off so easy. I have these in biscuit and brown. They are both so hot and pretty comfortable given the height. The only problem is that the heel caps fall off my biscuit pair so easy. I've had the brown way longer than biscuit and the heel caps stay on fine. I had to return my first pair of biscuit Madisons because the heel caps came off after about 4 hours of wear. Luckily Zappos was really cool about it. Now my second pair has lost the heel caps after about 2 days of wear. I love the shoes so I will just have the caps replaced, but I'll probably never buy another pair of Dolce Vita shoes.

This is a gorgeous boot and one of my best Zappos purchases, considering the sale price. Love everything about it, the leather, the height, the heel, the comfort. I am so happy with this one. Thanks, Zappos!

These shoes are absolutely stunning, and once you put them on everyone will be saying the same about your gams! The lines on this shoe are about as close as you can get to Louboutins or Casadei platform heels, minus the hefty price tag. Well made, with beautiful, subtle detailing (e.g. the leather upper covers the platform; and rounded point, almond shaped toe). They do fit true to size, but you may find that the toe area feels a little snug, at first, but that's what you should find in a good leather shoe, as they will give with time. I don't find that there's much heel "slippage" for me, personally, but everyone's feet are different. I'm probably going to put some "shoe buds" in for extra cushioning underneath the balls of my feet. In all truthfulness, I can't tell you that these are the most comfortable shoes ever, but I don't know how many of us, gals, wouldn't endure a modest amount of discomfort to achieve the sexiest, leggiest look possible. Overall, a great value with a classic, chic style (think timeless, pin-up girl coquettish-ness), that you can dress up or down, and will likely remain a fabulous "go to" staple in your shoe wardrobe for years to come...

Size 11 is a true 11! You have no idea how hard it is for us big-footed girls to find comfortable fashionable pumps and boots. I'm a true size 11, and lately it seems to be the style for companies to pass off size 41's instead of 42 as a US-11. Since 11 is usually the biggest you can find (if you're lucky!), you rarely have the option of going a half or full size up, so you're simply out of luck if a shoe runs small. I've been on the hunt for a good pair of sexy pumps for months now. First off, Zappos upgraded my order free of charge, and they arrived only 2 days after I placed the order! Then, upon trying them out, I was so happy to see that they fit like a true 11! They're beautiful, comfortable and make my legs look sexy as hell. I am now officially ready for Fall fashion! If only they could make this in the beautiful blue similar to Aldo's Burcin shoe, I would be one very ecstatic fashionista!

Versatile Boots - I have these boots in black size ten. The leather is thick, but soft allowing you the versatility of wearing them a few different ways. These boots are very wide around the calf so they automatically slouch. In fact, I push mine down to look like a bootie sometimes. I also love to wear my jeans tucked in them pulled up to just below the knee. The grey color is amazing, too. It’s kind of taupe. I like the lower 3 inch heel for comfort.

I ordered these boots yesterday and received them today! They are even cuter in person and are going to be so great for the fall and winter. \r\nThey fit true to size and I can tell they are going to be really comfortable. I bought them in black and they will go great with skinny jeans and even under regular boot cut jeans. The heel is the perfect height, so walking won\'t be a problem. \r\nAnd as always, exceptional customer service from Zappos!

I agree with the first reviewer; they were a little loose around the ankle, although they were a little tight around the widest part of the foot. I was able to wear my regular size, though, as suede stretches. That said, the ankle issue has turned the tide towards returning them, which is what I'll be doing. They are gorgeous; however, and I'd keep them if it weren't for this.

These are the cutest shoes, a true must have. I generally can't walk in 4 inch heels, but these don't feel that high and they are so comfortable. The leather feels already broken in that you don't think you're wearing a brand new pair of shoes. I wear an 8 1/2, but I purchased an 8 which fits perfect. This brand generally runs a 1/2 size big.

Great style. Very comfy, but I agree with other reviewers that the fit runs a little wide. If you have very narrow ankles, these might not work for you. I usually wear a size 7, but ordered down 1/2 a size. Hope this helps.

I wore this shoe to a wedding last week and got so many compliments on them! They are surprisingly comfortable for a 4" heel, but I do think they will be more comfortable with an arch support insert. Also, the top part of the zipper on the back does rub against your ankle, so wear a cushioned band aid to prevent breaking any blisters or breaking of the skin. Overall, a high end looking shoe at a fantastic price! I recommend ordering true to size.

I just purchased these shoes in silver specchio and they are very sexy looking and comfortable. The footbed is smooth and comfy too!! I don\'t know if Zappos will get the silver color back, but the black is great looking too. I have had recent back trouble and these shoes have not bothered me at all!! If you are contemplating, give them a try.

Sexy! But not for everyone... Love the Madison! First, they are HIGH, yes, but relatively comfy, because of the platform. Two issues to note: Sizing - I ordered my true size, and they're not as snug as I'd like. Maybe the heel height contributes to the odd fit. Heel liners or something ought to fix that. Going down in size will probably make them too small. Other than that, I really love these--very va-va-va voom, and great for all seasons. The Look - If you are not a fan of TOE-CLEAVAGE, these are not for you. The vamp is cut low, so toe-cleavage you shall have! I think it's sexy, but I know some have yet to warm to that look. :-)

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these shoes! These are comfortable (not plush) if you love flip-flips and don't care about not having a lush sole. That said, I took on the mean hills of San Francisco with these for an all-day jaunt on and had no problems at the end of the day. My only recommendation would be that they add something on the bottom of the shoe to add some traction to it, so you're not occasionally doing the slippy "sidewalk shuffle". They run true to size - I usually take an 8.5, and these are 8.5, and they conform to your foot within a couple wearings. These have garnered tons of compliments on these, and I am so happy they're mine.

They are gorgeous and sexy!!! The leather is so soft that you don't need to break in. Even though the heel is high, they are pretty comfortable. I got in black but I might get in beige as well!

I was looking for a pair of nude platform stilettos for awhile and I came across these Dolce Vita Madison heels and fell in love with them. They come off to be almost patent and shiny, but they aren’t that shiny at all, they are the perfect medium. I am a size 8.5 and they fit true to size. Super comfortable, especially for how high the heel is. The only complaint that I have is that there is slightly more toe cleavage than expected, but they still look amazing!!! As for Zappos, I received my shoes 2 days later from placing my order which was way sooner than expected. Great service and great shoes, couldn’t be happier.

These are exactly what I was looking for in a neutral-colored work-appropriate, but still sexy shoe, but wow, I’ve never had to concentrate so hard just to stay upright. I have experience walking in 4-inch plus heels, but the tiny toe box on this shoe means there’s not much keeping a my foot in place and my heels easily slip out (and there’s no way my toes would fit in a smaller size - had to walk around the apartment for a while just to smush my toes in). Still, they’re too pretty to give up on yet. And I like the toe cleavage.

I get a ton of compliments on this shoe - I have the biscuit color ones. They are pretty high, so if you are not used to walking in heels these are not for you. For the height, they are actually pretty comfortable. I am really happy with them and of course love Zappos!

Love this sandal! It's sexy and understated, with timeless style. Most ankle strap sandals have too much going on, taking away from the timeless appeal and seeming too trendy or they have that horrible cap at the back of the heel making for blisters and discomfort. This little number does exactly what it should and is very comfortable.

These shoes run a bit big, but I've found them to be very stylish and comfortable and they have a funky rockerish vibe that I love. No arch support, but as long as you don't walk for hours, you'll be fine.

I just got these sandals and I LOVE them!! They're beautiful, made from wonderfully soft leather, and are extremely comfortable. I have high arches (the tops of my feet are quite high) and these shoes fit well in spite of that. The leather is quite malleable, and with all the straps, I bet they could fit a number of foot shapes. Mine don't gap around the ankles. These shoes are gorgeous!!
