Reviewer: Anonymous from Los Angeles
Overall:4 stars   Comfort:5 stars   Look:4 stars

I love wearing these shoes, but I am disappointed about the crease at the tip of the toe, which formed pretty much right away. On the advice of other reviewers, I ordered a wide - the only wide shoes I've ever had - and that worked out perfectly. I'm a size 12 and they're very comfortable and any stiffness went away quickly enough that I've forgotten about it. All things considered, it's an excellent entree into pointy shoes!

I LOVE this hip little shoe. I'm tall and do not wear heals, but when I wear this pointed toe flat, I feel stylish and trendy (with many compliments too!). And this shoe is really comfortable . . . my foot is WIDE and by going up 1/2 size and ordering the Wide width, I have a perfect fit. I hope you love this shoe as much as I do!

I agree that the shoe is rather stiff and uncomfortable. The band of trim sewn around the opening looks better in the photograph than it does in person. I'm afraid these are going back. FYI The gold version has a white background with metallic gold spots

Comfy - Comfortable, but easy to crease. Totally recommended for the fashionista going for the classy look.

Type Z Cathy - Agree with the reviewer who said they were not as refined in appearance as she had hoped, and they're a little stiff, which hopefully will improve with wear.

A little too big, too stiff - These shoes ended up being almost a half-size too big and weren't quite as slender-looking as I was hoping.

Cute style...but I wish it came in 1/2 sizes. I ordered these in a 6 and a 7 in the soft gold color and found the 6 to be too narrow and the size 7 to be a bit too long. It is a nice looking rain boot and it appears it would be great in the winter since it has the thermal lining. My only concern is that the warm lining will get easily dirty through use especially when wearing them over skinny jeans. The dye from the darker rinsed jeans would transfer to the cuff detail. I wanted to like them, but they really are not as practical for me considering the price and folded over lined cuff. I prefer to wear the popular Scottish brand instead. As always, Zappos delivered the very next day. What wonderful and expeditious service!

So Comfy! Had back surgery a few months ago and can only wear flats. These are so comfortable! They look great with dress pants or jeans. The only down side is that I just noticed the pointed toe is showing a wear line, but I don't know how you could avoid that.

Bad Choice - These are very wide shoes. Also, a crease appeared after the second time I wore them. Pick another shoe.

Great Casual Shoe - This is a great "go to" shoe when you want a polished, casual look - but heels are too much and sneakers will not do. A very comfortable fit; even with socks. Flat feet beware - you will want to make sure your pants are long enough to cover the "gap".

Cute BUT... I have searched high and low for a cute black flat with a pointed toe. My search for many shoes is belabored because of my size 11 or 12. I picked this up because the styling looked quite nice in the photos. The pointed toe is not a true point and the slight roundness to it cheapens the look. The banded look around the top is also not as cute as it looks in the pictures and rather than creating a unique detail just adds to the lesser quality appearance. I will keep them as they suit my basic needs, but I was really looking for a more refined appearance in a flat.

Too bad - These shoes are beautifully made but, unfortunately, much too narrow. I plan on sending them back. If you wear a double wide, forget about it.

Odd sizing - Type Z has great looking shoes but the sizing is odd and unpredictable. After reading the reviews I decided to go up a size on these and they are far too big for me. I would have liked these if they had fit.

Caution - I always read the reviews before buying from Zappos. The majority of the reviews said that this shoe runs small, so I ordered a half-size up and the shoe ended up being at least a whole size too big.

Perfect for narrow feet - Despite all the reviews about how oddly sized this shoe is, I ordered my regular size 8 and it fits perfectly! I have a narrow foot and this shoe fits in all the right places. I did get heel blisters the first time I wore them but never again - they've broken in really well. Did I mention I get SO many compliments every time I wear them?!?!

Black and white - absolutely stylish - I can't say enough how much I love those shoes. From the moment I unpacked them I knew that these are perfect. Very comfortable and stylish. Great buy. I got my usual size 8 and they fit perfectly, maybe are a little bit wider than expected, but that is fine, because a pointy toe is more comfortable that way. Again a great buy and a great service - thank you Zappos

Not for me - Very pointy shoe. I felt like my foot was going to slip out because the sides are low. I will be returning these. The shoe was also ran large (by 1/2 size?) for me.

Attractive shoes for big feet - I really like these shoes because I have large feet and they make my feet appear smaller because of the pointy toe. I feel like I'm wearing heels.

These shoes are a great fit. However, after just 5 or 6 times of 8 hour days the toe began to curl up. I wear a size narrow 10 and order an 11 because of the pointed toe. Fit wise they are fine, but the shape does not stay and believe me when I say I have a narrow foot and did not stretch them.

Other shoes recommended by reviewer: recommend the Mia pointed shoe

Too wide and shallow - Great looking shoe but the style is very low and wide -- a shallow style. Too bad. I had to return it. The leather is a gorgeous buttery color.

Made my feet look very wide - Too tight across front. If you have any bunions at all they are not suitable. My foot looked very wide and unattractive on. Too bad, the style is very attractive and shoe is well made.

These were lower cut than they looked in the picture. I ordered 1/2 size up and that was fine, but I have wide feet and the W was still a bit too narrow. The leather is very soft, so I'm sure they would have stretched, but they didn't feel very stable on my foot. As much as I want to wear this style I don't think it's for me!

These shoes hurt, but are worth it - If you have anything bunionlike, the throat of these shoes might hurt - it's just sort of where it cuts across the foot, but the look is exactly what I wanted and the price is right - I cannot wear heels any more… at all. These look really cute with a black evening dress, which is why I purchased them, but also look great with suits, if I can get them broken in enough. I also have trouble with just about any kind of sandal "cutting" my feet - if you don't, you might not have problems. I really wanted the black and white spectator version and just wish I ordered them before they sold out.

Great pointed toe shoe - Open the over night shipping box they were even prettier in person. Tried the shoe on and have not pulled them off. I bought a full size larger and a w should have done the full size but went with the m width but will not send this pair back. Zappos ROCKS!!!

This is why your company was highlighted in this month's Inc. magazine. You guys rock and if I lived in the same state as your headquarters, I would so work for you. I have been ordering shoes from Zappos over two years ago and I don't plan on stopping. I have worked in customer service for 15 years and you guys continue to amaze me with your above and beyond attitude. Amanda
