Maybe my new favorite brand. Lovely. They fit perfectly. Super cute and I love the pink soles. The only complaint is that one of my tassels were wrinkled; I wrapped it up myself overnight and it's fine.

Love these shoes! They are true to size and they are easy on your feet. Wore them to a wedding for 5 hours and my feet didn't even hurt. Best of all they look very sexy.

Cute shoes! I love the flower and the checkered pattern on these shoes! I have received so many compliments every time I wear them. They do not hurt my feet at all, even when I wear them for a few hours to go shopping. They do run a bit large, so I suggest ordering a 1/2 size down. I highly recommend these, they're stunning!

It's so cute! And awesome customer service! I purchased it on October 29th. I saw at the mall and they didn't have my size. So I ordered online and I really wanted to wear it at the Halloween party. But I paid after 5 p.m.. Even I paid the 1 day shipping, I wasn't sure if I could get it on time. I talked to the customer service and she said, she will try her best. Next day, it came and I could wear it at the Halloween party and I looked perfect! I really thank Zappos!

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!

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: from Oregon countryside

Overall: (5 Stars)

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.
