Spicy Brown Mustard Shoe - I love this shoe! It is very sexy and elegant. The sizing is a little off. It wasn't really a true half size larger and if I had bought a size 7, it would have been too tight so I bought Dr. Scholl's heel insert and it fit great.

When I saw this shoe on Zappos, I immediately fell in love with it. It feels true to size. The minute I wore it, I felt extremely comfortable with the height of the heel, and of course the look is out of this world. I received so many compliments on the shoe it was unbelievable!

No pain no gain - Full disclosure. I have the shoes with the print NOT the plain black pair. Though these shoes have a thin feel to them they are the right price for a trendy print. Meaning when wearing these shoe you can feel every step you take as there is no cushion. You can add a gel insert to help. These are a sexy shoe and look great on. I purchased a half size up because of the pointy toe. This choice worked well for me, just a smidge too big but again with the pointy toe helps give some room without squeezing. I wore them with a nice pair of super flared black pants. Sooo chic with the fab print & pointy toe peeking out. I think these shoes will break in nicely, but only time will tell.

I really liked these shoes, they were true to size and comfortable. I have a narrow heel so I had to buy some heel stops, but other than that, they’ve been great and I’ve received many compliments on them. I’ll be buying the other color very soon.

I wear high heels at work, so I need them not only quite comfortable, but durable, too. I have previous experience with very comfortable Carlos Santana shoes, so as soon as I spotted these, I ordered them. (They came conveniently on the next morning, just as I was getting ready for work.) Carlos Santana Elite - in black - look stunning. They are also great for walking (comparative to other high heels, I mean), I spend a whole 9-10-hour day in them, without getting tired. The shoes are nice and light, extremely elegant, without being flashy. At the beginning they were a bit tight, but being quite soft, they loosened comfortably by the second day. A great shoe is a great shoe. Myself, I would buy another pair.

I got mine in Spicy Mustard Morrocan and they are wonderful! They are the perfect summer pump that goes with bright outfits in purple, pink or neutral colors. I'm normally a size 7 and they felt maybe a quarter of an inch too large, but if you get Dr. Scholl's heel pads then that will do the trick. Very cute, sexy, and fun! I love Carlos Santana shoes, and I always get compliments on these. I gave it four stars for comfort because my toes are a little cramped in the front, but my feet are pretty wide anyways.

I bought a 5 E in this several years ago, M574 it is the only one in the line I can wear or would wear. I love them, however they no longer make it in this exact style, similar but not exact in all detail. Please start producing again for those with a wide, wide foot.

These shoes were meant for walking - I received these shoes and walked all over Tokyo in them the next day and my feet felt great all day. Not very often you find shoes you can do that in. Not a single blister like most new shoes would give you if you walked a lot in them. These are great shoes. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a casual shoe that has a great retro look.

m574 - Very comforable, almost no break-in period. Very light weight. With a "EEE" foot, New Balance is the only choice for me. The variety of color combinations in this model was overwhelming.

Love 'em! Very nice shoe, which I never saw in the stores. Excellent service and delivery, although it seemed to run small. I had to return the first pair for a half size larger.
