I'm not usually one to pay more than $100 for a pair of shoes (or even $50), but these were exactly what I've been looking for! Since switching from gutterpunk to professional in my attire 3 years ago, I've been on the lookout for office appropriate foot wear. I usually prefer classic styles or men's wear inspired styles like penny loafers and the like, and I wanted something with that dorkycute little fringe detail on the top. Problem was that every shoe I've found that fit that criteria also always had at least one (if not multiple) fugly factor. Bad heel shape, weird material etc. And then I saw these! (Imagine a light shining down from parted clouds.) The leather is a nice rich mahogany and the snake skin trim adds a fashionable edge without being too much, being slightly more subtle in person when the shoes are worn than in the picture. I read reviews of Charles David online that frequently stated their shoes run small so I ordered a size 9 (I am an 8-9 depending), but found that in this particular style I needed a size 8. I haven't been able to bring myself to pull them down off their pedestal and force them to run through the walkability gauntlet, so I can't tell you if they'll wear holes in your heel or break your toes or disintegrate on the pavement, but they have been comfortable around the house and they don't seem like they'll do any of those terrible things. And besides, they're beautiful, so who cares? Ah, just businesslike enough for the office, a touch of old school geek, and stripperish enough to allow me to feel right at home in them. What more could a girl ask for? Oh, and did I mention, they smell really great when you take them out of the box.

Meh. I had to try a couple different sizes of this shoe and they still don't fit right. I typically don't experience a problem with feeling one foot bigger than the other so maybe the production of the shoe is off. It could still just be me, though. I can usually handle heels fairly decently; however, I do have flat feet. The boot felt entirely too tight, didn't permit enough movement and was generally uncomfortable. Still not sure I can send 'em back though. I keep thinking "some day."

 |  | I have told EVERYONE about Zappos.com. I first heard about you from a co-worker who is a shoe freak - she loves your site. When I couldn't find the shoes my dad has worn for years anywhere in local retail shops - I visited your site and found the exact pair, size and FREE shipping. I was hooked. When my stepdaughter said she needed a dutch oven for X-Mas, I immediately logged on and found not one, but 2 styles at great prices - and FREE shipping - so I ordered BOTH of them - THEN today I get an e-mail saying you've upgraded my shipping so she'll get it in time to use for Thanksgiving cooking - HOW GREAT IS THAT? I love y'all -and will continue to sing your praises to any and everyone who bemoans on-line shopping - or hates to go to the mall. YOU ROCK!
