Love these shoes. They are so different and very comfortable. People will definitely notice them when you wear them. They run about one half size larger, so order one half size smaller than you usually take. They are even neater than pictured. The quality is very good also.

I got the brown and I love them. They are actually very comfy. I did make the mistake of wearing them tailgating and to a football game to the tune of 10 hours, a few miles of walking, and my feet were pretty sore. Nothing a gel pad wouldn't cure. For everyday normal wear they are very comfy. I am 5'8" and have normal calves; I have plenty of room to tuck my skinny jeans into them and not feel pinched at all. I am actually contemplating getting them in black, too.

Cute shoe, but not all that comfortable. This is a really cute shoe to look at, but it ran a little big. The peep toe didn't seem all that comfortable either; it was digging into my foot.

I received the Poetic License "Betty" the day after I ordered them. These shoes will go with just about anything. As an owner of a boutique, I always try to find shoes that are cutting edge. These will go with long skirts, short shirts, leggings and easily go from working at the store to dinner out. The weight of these shoes is heavier than I expected, but it is because the platform bottom is covered with the upper leather part of the shoe. One great feature of the Poetic License box is that, unlike traditional lidded shoe boxes, they have constructed their box to slide out like a drawer. Great for stacking in your closet!

These are absolutely darling on. I bought a size 8 and it seems a little loose, so maybe I need to exchange them for a size 7 1/2 if the gel shoe insert doesn't fix it.

I fell in love with these shoes at first sight. They were sexy and unusual and fit my personality to a tee. Once I got them, I couldn\'t believe how comfortable they were. Usually wear a size 11, but I decided to try a 10 since that was the largest size. A little snug, but not uncomfortable. I danced all night the first time I wore them.

These shoes are magic! I wore them to my wedding this weekend and they were amazing. The color and jewels are absolutely gorgeous. They fit true to size and were comfortable most of the night. After dancing for a while I had to take them off, but that would have happened with any heel. Thanks for the next day shipping Zappos!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these boots! Purple is so in this year and these are sooooo beautiful. You won\'t be disappointed. Size is true, color is true. It\'s easy to find accessories to go with this color. This is not the first time I\'ve built and outfit starting with shoes/boots.\r\nOf course, Zappos\' service is the best. Just got my neighbor to order from Zappos, too, Keep up the great service you guys....can\'t be beat!

Poetic Licence Softer Side - Absolutely gorgeous shoe. I loved these from the second I put them on. For a higher heel they are surprisingly comfortable. Only complaint is that the roses on each shoe are not exactly symmetrical, but they are so beautiful that I am keeping them.

I am a first time buyer for this brand, and it won\'t be the last time I buy them! They are so cute and unique. The heel height is comfortable, and they fit true to size or even a tiny generous. The workmanship and details are terrific.

I just got these shoes today and I have to say that I LOVE them! I bought them in pink to go dancing in Vegas. I want to wear them just to lay around the house, they are so adorable!! I can't wait to show them to my friends. They are pretty comfy too - I don't normally wear heels this high as they hurt my feet but I think these will be OK.

These shoes are the cutest shoes in the world! I'm actually wearing them right now because I love them so much. I got the pink ones, and the pink is a very pretty hot pink, perfect for many outfits. This is the most amount I have ever spent on shoes, and I was hesitant, but reading the reviews I decided to go for it. I'm in love. These shoes are my favorite and I just want to wear them with everything. The money is worth it. My friends think they are super cute and all want to get a pair, too. In the future, I'm going to get the black pair as well. I usually wear a 11.5 or 12, and I got an 11 reading the reviews and fits me perfect! So it's very big, thank gosh, I can actually wear them! I'm telling you, you will feel like a goddess in these, they are that amazing. They are so comfy as well. I've never been so in love with shoes until I saw these! Definitely recommend!

OMG! These are so girly and glitsy. I love them. I purchased the gold pair they look so nice with jeans. The gems are so big and the colors of the gems are bright not dull. These sandals make a statement for all us girls who love to be different. They dont hurt the feet either great buy. Thanks Zappos!

Thes are so so CUTE!!!! I am a shoe fanatic and these are one of my favorites. They are also very comfortable. The inside sole is an animal print which just adds to the plus of their adorableness. Very unique!!!!!!

I love these shoes. I bought the champagne color for a wedding and actually survived walking in them through the pre-wedding photos (on uneven nature terrain) and the ceremony. I ditched them for the reception, but they are so comfortable and easy to walk in compared to most heels. They are such sexy shoes that I received tons of compliments on them! I definitely recommend them for any special occasion or a night out on the town!

These shoes changed my birthday celebration. I ordered them in pink, and, oh my, were they a hit! They really are so much fun, and actually pretty comfortable, I wore them dancing for 6 hours before I had to take them off. Love these shoes!

Reviewer:Anonymous from Oregon countryside
Overall Rating:
Nice enough, but... It's the oddest thing to say about a shoe that features all of the following: peep toe, red, dimensional rose on toe, animal print, and red heel, but -- this shoe is too demure. I was looking for a knock 'em dead leopard-print shoe, and the cut of this shoe is more as advertised, appropriate for a tea party. (The heel is rather lower than it looks in the photo when maybe, with all that lively decor, the shoe could have been a platform with a 4" heel.) I had been thinking of the look that goes with a loud rock band and skinny black jeans. So despite their great charm, good fit, and adorable packaging (the box has a cute pink drawer), back they must go. I ordered Betsey Johnson's leopard print high-heeled sandals with stud accents. If that's not enough, who knows...Thanks Zappos, you are great as always, and I ordered my black skinny jeans from you too.

So comfy and looks even better in person! These shoes are def. an attention grabber! It’s so hard to find shoes that look as good as good as they feel! AND they came in the cutest box with handles that double as a tote! I will definitely buy more Poetic License shoes in the near future. (From Zappos of course) LOL

I wish I could be as positive about this shoe as the first review! When I saw these shoes on the website I fell in love with the bronze and ordered them. I ordered a size up as with sandals or open toes as I always do. When the shoes arrived they were amazing to look at, again I fell in love, but...when I put them on the thong fit strange like it is made really short, hard to explain. The shoe size is not the problem it is the thong, but I would order up. For me they hurt a little. The strap on the pair I received is very hard to work with, as far as putting on and off. If you do not mind all of those possible problems, they are one of the cutest sandal styles I have ever seen. I would love to keep them but will have to send them back, very sad.

I returned these. The pink pair looked so cute online that I bought them for my honeymoon but as soon as I pulled them out of the package, my fiance made a frightened look. The flower is much larger than I thought it would be from the picture, and I found the piece that goes between your toe SO uncomfortable. My coworker who is also getting married bought them at the same time as me, and also returned them for the same reasons.
