Too much peep - These look so beautiful on the site, and in your hand- just not on your feet :( the material is wonderful and they are comfortable, but there is very little coverage of the toes; it's not your average "peep toe." Perhaps it's a personal thing, but I hate it when the lines of my toes show from above before the open toe even starts.

At last - These shoes are very 'low cut' --almost like sandals--but that's their style: along with nice curved lines around the foot. They don't have a lot of support, so maybe not to wear on a long day on your feet (I haven't tried yet). Here's the point: they come in size 12, and have 1/2 inch heels and they do have STYLE. This is very hard to find and I would think should be a much bigger category. People with large sizes are usually TALL and often don't want to wear 2" or 3" heels in order to be elegant. These are a welcome change. Zappos, please find more youthful chic FLATS in large sizes.

Peep Toe with too much peep! These are beautiful soft eel leather. Very comfortable. Only problem is this peep toe has too much peep. I can see my pedicured toes at the end then every bit of toe cleavage on the other side. The leather strip going across just isn't wide enough. They were not attractive on my feet.

A pretty shoe - This shoe does show a lot more toe than a typical peep toe, but it really shows off a great pedicure. Looks great with jeans.

Too much peep in the toe - I ordered these shoes b/c they were the only powder blue patent flat on Zappos. Unfortunately, the other reviewers who said there was too much peep in the toe were right -- three toes to be exact. And not just the tops -- about halfway down. Plus they were stiff and hard and the back dug into my heel. Beautiful color but back to Z they go.

I bought these shoes in light blue and have been wearing them all summer. I love them. They are very comfortable and look great with jeans. I had no problem with the fit; the amount of peep was fine with me. I don't understand what all the complaints are about. This is a nice shoe!

Most comfortable daily wear sandal ever! This is an incredibly comfortable sandal - soft, like glove leather. These are very sturdy and easy to walk in. They don't slip off when walking. I practically live in mine.

Karen from La. I love this shoe! It's so comfortable and looks incredible on the foot. I wear a 81/2AAAA and this shoe in a 81/2N fits so well that I'm planning to buy it in the flat version.

The perfect 24 hour shoe! I own 5 pairs of this shoe. This shoe is a perfect fit and somehow rejuevenates the foot. I wore the shoes for 12 hours of shopping in New Orleans and for a 16 hour party in Las Vegas. My feet felt great all night and even the next day. The leather does not stretch out. The flat version of this shoe did give me blisters.

Favorite shoe - I'm a comfort junky and found this shoe to be both extremely comfortable and drop dead cute on. I bought my first 2 pair last season and am back for more after wearing them out last year. I've got 3 colors now. This is a great all day shoe.

Fabulous style and comfort! I love the VALORE style shoe more than any shoe that I have ever owned! I am 56, sell real estate and am on my feet all of the time. Even after a 12 to 14 hour day, my feet do not hurt!!! Thank you for another winner.

Smashing! This pair of shoes fits like a glove. They are absolutely beautiful. You know first hand they were made with extreme care and pride. If I could afford it I would have all colors. I am not used to walking with a heal and I have a slightly wider foot and I had no problems. They are smart in apprearance and fit. Just wonderful!

Best slides! These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever had. Wore them to several holiday parties and never had sore toes, feet, etc.

You need this shoe - Great shoe, dresses up or down, looks casual but also elegant. Useful mid-heel height, and so comfortable, you could live in it.
