Received this shoe today...was already a VC fan but these are even more stunning than usual. Pink Champagne is not pink just the palest most beautiful nude ever - this shoe looks like it is from a French or Italian "design house" and like it should have a price tag in keeping with "those names". Style is extremely sophisticated and exudes elegance. Will work with executive style work wear,
dress up regular office attire and be perfection with a LBD for evening (or anything else for that matter). Heel is high but dual platform (hidden/exposed) takes the bite out of it, if you are used to 3.5"-4" you will be fine, and because "half is hidden" there is no sacrifice to the style/elegance (doesn't look like a '70s/gogo/clunky platform). The
platforms are different colors and textures...footbed is dark brown suede like texture while exposed/bottom platform is black patten...the combo of nude to brown to black is an extra subtle addition to the style. I am generally a "true 9" so with these I got 8.5 there is a little "play" at the heel - but nothing a petal or two won't remedy - there is nothing worse than "walking out" of a very high heeled pump with every step. Toe box is a little narrow but not excessive, especially considering mine are. 1/2 size smaller than my usual 9.
