Adorable but tiny - I absolutely loved this shoe at first sight, however once I removed all the paper and tried to put it on I was saddened. Due to the severe arch, height of heel, and platform feature, it didn't leave much room for one’s foot. (5/12) Unfortunately, I had to send them back. My intent was to order another size hoping for a more comfortable fit (I could barely get these on), however, they are sold out. :( Very sad!

Snub Nose Pump Heels - This shoe is GORGEOUS!!! I LOVE the squared toe look, and I like the satin material far better than the leather. It's a very high heel, but it's fairly comfortable and very elegant looking. However, this shoe runs extremely small! I normally wear a size 8, but I required a size 9 1/2 in this shoe!!! It also seems to be narrower than "normal" shoe widths.

WOW! (Watch Out World) This distinctive designed shoe is better looking on than off. Maybe destined to be a classic. True sz.7 length and width. I was "BORN" to buy shoes? Other Type Z shoes I purchased, 4 yrs ago are still getting compliments. My skeptical thought was the heel-toe stitching, which is actually very complementary, and not very noticeable. I had to have the navy to wear with blue jeans, the black leather w/ patent heel also look great with anything. "I" wouldn't actually wear them with shorts, but I'm not 20. Shop Zappos, you'll find the same designer or other brands and $AVE!!! P.S. Zappos is EXTREMELY customer oriented! If ever a problem, the resolution is just a call away.

These are some pretty hot Pumps!! I ordered these shoes to wear to a wedding... I was very surprised at the comfort of this shoe being that the heel was so high. The square toe on this shoe and the stitching on the heel FIYAH... I got TONS of compliments that day...

A must have! This shoe is a must have! I got them in the red/patent; they look even better in person. My daughter opened the box as she always does, but with this shoe she did something that she never did before while opening my Zappos boxes and that was scream really loud. She then ran upstairs to me with the shoe screaming “these shoes are hot, hot, hot!�. These are now her favorite shoes that I own and I can proudly say, mine too. I can’t wait to show them off!

Hotness - I fell in love with these shoes the moment I opened the box. I was disappointed to find that the toe area was so tight and that I felt like I was going to tip over when I stood up. I was very close to returning them, but couldn't get the guts because they are the ultimate pinup shoe. Instead I kept them and have broken them in some. I wore them to two Christmas parties and survived. They're not made to wear for hours (or maybe I'm just a wuss), but I definitely felt hot wearing them and they look amazing with jeans.

You need these shoes! These are awesome! I just got these today in red and love them! Sky high, but stable and comfy! These will totally make it into my main rotation. You definitely need to have experience wearing higher heeled shoes if you don't want to break something while wearing these. They will have a small break in period as they are a bit stiff on the sides. They do run a half to whole size bigger - I am a large 8.5 to a small 9 so I ordered a 9.5 and they fit fine - I might need some of those heel pads for slippage, but that's a small price to pay for wonderfully edgy sexiness!

YESSS!! These are the red pumps that I have been searching my entire life for. I own A LOT of shoes; too many in fact, and these are the sexiest pair, by far. The heel is a bit higher than I imagined it would be but I can manage just fine in them. As far as sizing, they are a little bit narrow, but it wasn’t a big issue to me. Also, I ordered true to size (10) and I had a little extra room in the back of the shoe. I know other have said they had to order up several sizes, but this is my normal size and if anything, it is a tad large if not just right. I am so excited to wear these shoes out. They are sexy and sleek. Be prepared for tons of compliments!

I ordered the shoe in navy leather. I usually wear a size 8 but when it came it was a little big so I exchanged it for a 7.5. I would say order half a size smaller, then what you would wear. Very comfortable. The shoe itself is very very sexy and the navy color is really really nice; it’s more of a grayish color and it looks good with jeans too, as well as black of course. The shipping process was really fast I recieved it the next day. I am very satisfied with my purchase, and I am very happy I ordered this shoe. The sizes run out fast so act quickly or request a size. Thank you Zappos; love the service.

Comfort from the getgo - Fantastic comfortable shoe. Looks great with jeans. No rubbing on the back of the heel. True to size.

Well worth the money!!! Very comfortable shoes. Looks great with slacks and jeans. Only problem is: if you are a size 9, the English sizes are 40 and 41 which is 8 1/2-9 for the 40 and 9 1/2 for the 41. So they'll be a little large. Size 40 was to small for me.

Very Easy to wear shoe. There was no break in period required and this shoe felt great right out of the box. I wear a size 10 (42) and the shoes fit fine with thin socks. These are my first pair of Riekers but I have since ordered two other styles. I love these Riekers and would not have discovered this brand if it were not for Zappos.

Best of the Best - I've worn Riekers for 10 years and haven't found any brand that comes close in comfort and they last forever. As soon as I tried this shoe on I ordered 2 more - love the style.

I just love the look and feel of this shoe. I got the red and it looks great with jeans. It's a wonderful lightweight shoe for spring and summer. I know I'll be wearing it often.

Beyond Comfort - An outstanding shoe! Your feet breathe and are massaged in comfort. Better than wearing slippers!

Classy and Comfortable - These are really classy little shoes. And very comfortable right from the start. I got them in red, and wish they had been in my size in other colors.

Wow! I ordered two pairs of shoes in a size 7. I had to send both back. The Aquatalias were a bit small so I traded up to a 7.5. These were a shade too floppy, so they're in the mail awaiting exchange for a 6.5. Even mis-sized, they were better than slippers for comfort!
