These shoes are simply gorgeous! I wanted to have them work so badly, but the cone heel made them too wobbly to walk in for me. My friend ended up purchasing the same pair and didn't like that her pinkie toe sticks out. If you're good in heels then get these, they're just beautiful!

It looks chic and is also easy to wear. I did not have to go to Nine West store to buy them, which is good. It is exactly the same as I have seen in the store.

The toe part of shoe is too long and narrow making my feet look odd when I wear them. They have a comfortable heel with are made of high quality leather, but the front part of the shoe is too long and narrow. They looked weird to me, so I returned them.

These are the BEST! They are super comfortable and cute! I can wear them out, dance all night without limping home in pain. I get so many compliments on them. Buy them now, you won't regret it!

AMAZING SHOE! I am very picky about heels (never will sacrifice comfort for looks!) But this shoe is great! It appears to be very uncomfortable but is the most comfortable heel I've ever owned. Very foot flattering as well and the sizing is dead on!

Cute shoe looks great with all my short, loose summer dresses. I bought an 8M (I usually get a narrow if I can), and the straps are just a little looser than I'd like. Still, they're comfortable for what they are, and you can't beat the price. Zappos really is awesome!

These shoes are made from a very soft leather. The heel is taller than I normally wear so they can get uncomfortable if I'm walking a lot. They look great with skirts, dresses or pants/jeans. My daughter liked them so much she bought a pair too!

I really like the shoes. However, they aren't true to size. I normally wear a 5.5, but wish I'd ordered a size 5.

I love these shoes. The 1 inch platform makes them very comfortable because you get the look of high heels without the pressure on the ball of your foot. The leather is soft and doesn't rub my sensitive feet. I even wore them to the grocery store after work... no need to change into flats. These aren't "comfy for high heels," they're comfy. Period.

Very sexy shoes and the softest of leather. Also very comfy and was able to deal with the height especially because of the platform style at the front. Very satisfied with my purchase. I'm a size 8 1/2 but find that size 8 is a better fit for me in nine west shoes.

This is a really cute shoe, stylish, but not too trendy. I like to wear it with cropped jeans and capris. Ive worn these all day to work without my feet hurting. Definitely recommend this shoe for anybody who is comfortable in heels.

Very stylish and comfortable. Surprising that the straps don't dig into the skin to cause any blisters. Heel height is just right, looks sexy without being skanky. Runs a bit large, I wear 8.5 normally, but 8 fits in this style.

Cute Gladiator -
I love this shoe. Very comfortable. Only drawback is that the right shoe first strap hits my foot funny and sometimes rubs my little toe or it tries to poke out. Very weird because left shoe doesn't (or at least hasn't so far).

I ordered this shoe in black. I have a hard time wearing heels because of my back, but these are the most comfortable heels Ive ever worn. They didnt even feel like they were very high because of the platform and the leather was so buttery soft, I could wear them for a long time. Going by the previous ratings, I went ahead and ordered my normal size and they fit perfect, so well in fact that Im going to order another pair in another color. Thanks Zappos!

Stylish and Very Comfortable -
This is a very stylish and comfortable sandal that I recommend to anyone who's looking for the perfect T-strap, gladiator style that is popular this season! Be careful with size: I am a constant 6.5, but this shoe definitely runs a half size smaller (I tried on the 6.5 in the store and it was enormous). I ordered the 6 from Zappos and it fits perfectly.

Sexy shoe -
This shoe is one of my favorites and it is definitely my husband's favorite :) The leather is soft and the shoe is comfortable. The only reason I gave it 4 stars for comfort is because the heel is about a 1/2 inch too high for me. It is easy to walk in them, however. I personally do not believe this is a wear to work shoe (I am a teacher) but love to wear them every chance I get.

Great shoe!
I absolutely love these shoes- I am able to wear them for hours and they dont even hurt my feet! (Maybe if you wear them more than one day in a row) but for the height- I can wear them all night without problems. I received tons of complements the first time and every time I have worn them. I would def recommend!

Versatile Gladiator Sandal -
I got these yesterday and was surprised at the level of comfort. I was a bit worried about a 4 inch heel as I usually don't go higher than 3, but these are actually really comfortable. Easy to walk in once you've had them on for a few minutes and the look is very versatile. They look great with dresses, skirts, capris, and pants. The toe is a little pointy, but my toes didn't feel cramped at all. Awesome shoe!

Gorgeous, but a "no go" for me -
I love the style of these shoes and how they look on my feet... they're super cute and sexy. I really tried to make them work for me by wearing them around the house on carpet, but I found that the sole is very slippery on the bottom (beware on tile or wood floor), the heel is too inflexible for me, and the heel is indeed wobbly, like some other people said. For anyone who needs a more stable heel, beware. I'm sadly returning them.

I don't usually review products, but I had to say how amazing these shoes are! I got them in dark brown and they will go with everything. The leather is so soft that it doesn't cut into your feet. And I've never found a heel with more cushioning.

I've tried on so many gladiator type shoes this spring and these were by far the most comfortable. I've gotten tons of compliments on them too. Very sexy and stylish!

I LOVE THEM! I ordered them in black, and have been waiting for the weather to warm up so I can wear them -- and now I hate to take them off! I ordered a 12, and they were a little tight at first, but after 2 wearings, they stretched out and now I hate to take them off! I think I'm going to order the brown ones, too.

They are not the most comfortable, but totally worth suffering for! They make your legs look long and lean and are a great look for the summer!

I bought these sandals for my daughter. Had searched other shoe websites, and you had the SIZE, COLOR, and the RIGHT PRICE!!!!! She received them and loved them. Said she will get a lot of wear out of them this summer with various outfits.
