These boots are very simple, and therefore versatile. The leather is thick and soft, the shaft is tall (completely covers the calf, almost up to my knee), and the boot is completely lined with leather, quite luxurious. Best of all, though, is the sole, which is a sturdy, flexible, solid piece of rubber which is absolutely non-slip, waterproof and comfortable for walking. I wear these with leggings, with skinny jeans, with tights and short skirts, and with long-ish skirts. I'm not much of a boot person, but I really love these!

I have been on the flat black boot search like nobody\'s business for awhile now. Willing to spend the bucks, but trying hard not to. I finally ordered these after seeing that my options were dwindling. They are gorgeous. High quality, thick, soft leather all over. Perfect really. But they didn\'t fit. I\'m usually a 7.5 in flats and heels, 8 in running shoes/ boots. I ordered the 7.5, fingers crossed. No go. I\'m sad to to see them go back. Unfortunately for me the search goes on.

Love these Italians - I have ordered about 12 different boots (from various sources), some of them just as expensive as these (the Fryes come to mind or the Pour La Victoires). Wow. I love them. I wanted something that wasn't too wide in the calf, was a decent height (ideally these would be taller, but they are alright as they are - my min. tolerable height) and looks really good. These are super high quality in an understated way, nothing flashy, just perfect. They aren't especially dressy or hip or sexy, but they have poise and that understated charm of the rich and established and self-confident. I wouldn't have paid this much except I wanted a boot I loved. BTW I am a 9 1/2 and these Euro sized 40's just fit. No size 10 footer could fit them, although 40 should be 9 1/2 to 10.

Gorgeous, but...... What a great looking shoe, but very, very unstable. With every step I thought I was going to step "off" the platform. Really nothing to hold the foot secure in the back. What a disappointment. I really needed this color to work.....

Great dress shoe - I love this shoe. It is comfortable and sexy! I wouldn't walk for miles, but my feet did not hurt through an evening of cocktails, dinner and dancing. The description says it has a 3-inch heel, but it is really 4-inch. I usually don't wear that high of a heel but these look great and were easy to walk in. I normally take a size 10, but all they had was a 9-1/2 and it fit!

Perfect shoe for the bride who wants to wear them again! Zappos' free delivery and free returns let me order all the wedding shoes I wanted until I found just the right shoes! These sexy high-heeled sandals by Nina are so incredibly comfortable, you don't realize you're wearing a 3.5" heel. The gorgeous wrap around design keeps the modified sling-back on your foot - for dancing all night long. Zappos is my favorite shoe store.

Incredibly comfortable - I have a ton of weddings to go to this summer and the sandals I *thought* I was going to wear ended up killing me feet - so I picked these up. The satin is so soft, but it still stays on my feet securely. They are high, but they come with little pads to put under the ball of your foot, too!

These shoes look very nice, but they are uncomfortable. The strap over my toes was tight, even though I ordered the next 1/2 size up. The bottom of my feet were burning after 2 hours.

Great Wedding Shoes! These are very lovely and comfortable shoes. I did not think about them at all except how good they looked. Very elegant!

Beautiful Shoe - I bought this shoe for my wedding and I absolutely love them. Not too tall, not too short, comfortable, and so cute! They are a little different looking and not your typical conservative wedding shoe, which is great. My only regret is that they spent the day under a fluffy white dress, rather than out in the sun for myself and others to enjoy.

Wedding shoes! I got these shoes in hopes that they matched my ivory wedding dress, which they did perfectly! They are very comfortable to have on, not too high, but still a good height. The straps are not too tight. All around, I can't wait to wear these shoes on my wedding day!

These shoes are exactly what I was looking for! I am wearing them for my wedding this summer. I wanted a heel but not a 4" heel. These are high but not uncomfortably high. They are also very comfortable. I was between sizes but found that going with the bigger size was a little more comfortable especially for the summer heat and hours of dancing! Zappos was amazing. I literally ordered them at 8PM Monday night and received them the NEXT DAY at no extra charge!! You can't beat free shipping and returns. The only tiny complaint that I have is that the white is not stark white. On the tie on the side of the shoe the color is not as bright. I would not say they were dirty by any means but just not quite as white as I was expecting.

These are perfect height. Not too high or low. I am wearing them with my wedding dress and the ivory color is perfect. They are very secure and actually fairly padded in the footbed...great shoe.
