I can't tell you all how happy these shoes make me. Sounds dumb, but I finally realized that my true shoe size is 8WW. Zappos has been a godsend since I can rarely find shoes in retail stores that carry this size. SO - these shoes have been a blessing. I have sensitive, wide feet and I have been able to stand and walk in these for hours without any pinching, rubbing or discomfort whatsoever. There is not great support, but they look wonderful and really are comfortable. No one would know they are 'wide' shoes from the way they look. I can't say enough good things and I will buy more of this brand.

Girls with big feet...this is the shoe for you! I wear a 10.5 and sometimes find it difficult to find heels that are comfortable and fit well. Everything I've tried from David Tate is excellent. They are comfortable from the first day I put them on. I love Zappos -- I can't find 1/2 sizes anywhere in the stores. Their ordering process is fantastic and the delivery time is incredible!!

This shoe is very comfortable. The size seemed a little small, though. I normally have to wear a size 11, but needed and 11.5 in this shoe. Overall, a comfortable shoe!

Nice pump - Runs big-I normally wear 5 1/2 and this is almost a half size too big, don't know if a 5 would be too small or just right? I also ordered WW for the first time-nice across the toes, a bit too wide on the side, would be interested to try a 5W but unfortunately they don't have any more in the black leather. Nice looking basic shoe-not a sexy stiletto but not too frumpy, either. Doesn't seem too have much padding, though.

Nice basic pump - Pretty good. I got the black patent and was impressed that they were available in 5.5D. My size is really difficult to find, and nice-looking shoes are rare! These look nice and aren't bad in terms of comfort. These and my other David Tate's seem to run a smidgen big, though. Maybe a quarter size large, if that makes any sense.

At Last! After searching for too many years than I care to mention, I have found a plain pump that I can wear for longer than 20 minutes at a time! I wore these shoes all day the first time out of the box! The only area of slight discomfort came where the shoe goes across the foot (at the throat of the shoe). I do feel that this area will stretch with wear. I wear a 9.5 AA. THANKS ZAPPOS!

David Tate Starlite Black Patent - I LOVE THIS SHOE! I first ordered a 10 WW and it was too small for my right foot (my right is almost a have size bigger than my left). I returned it an ordered a 10.5 WW and they fit fine. My left shoe was loose but after I put an insole in it was fine. These shoes are classic but still look pretty sexy... even on my big, WW wide feet. I wear them all day and they feel pretty good. I liked them so much that I ordered the Black Leather also. I wish they made this shoe in RED PATENT LEATHER (hint, hint).

David Tate's Starlite Pumps - The shoe is an attractive basic black patent pump. They fit my feet well which is an 11.5 Narrow, but after a couple of hours, my feet began to hurt. I don't wear heels often so I don't know if it is the shoe or my feet. I am going to wear them a few more times to see if I can break them in.

Simple, basic heel for work or after - Nice shoe. I was looking for something that would fit the bill for work and be comfortable and this shoe fills the need very well.

Haven't actually worn these yet, but they are beautiful. Leather is very soft and they feel comfortable. I needed dressy, basic, black pumps and these seem to be perfect. Fast delivery!! Love Zappos for my 10N feet. Can't find shoes anywhere.

Just What I Wanted - I wanted a comfortable shoe with a heel that I could wear to work. I found it!

Two thumbs up! As usual, Zappos delivered my order in 2 days - great service! I wear a narrow width, which always complicates shoe shopping. These pumps are SO comfortable. From the minute I slipped them on, there were no seams to rub on my feet; no cutting or binding; the heel height is comfortable for walking and for wearing more than just a few hours at a time, and the pointy toe is fashionable. I LOVE these shoes!! I only wish more manufacturers made narrow widths!!

OK shoe - I love the look of this shoe. And the black leather is gorgeous looking. I originally ordered the micro fiber one b/c the leather wasn't available in what I thought was my size. The micro fiber was too big b/c it runs about 1/2 size large. So I was able to order the leather in a smaller size. The length fit fine, but it was too narrow in the toe box for my wide feet - even when I ordered a WW width. I am sad that I have to return these :-( And even though the heel is higher than what I normally wear, it wasn't uncomfortable at all. You would never think it was a 3" heel.

Fabulous fit and look for the odd sized foot! I wear a 10.5 4A so finding cute shoes that actually fit me is almost impossible. I was SOOOO excited to find these and for such a great price. It's amazing the feeling that owning just one pair of black pumps gives!

Comfortable - I needed a shoe to wear with a gown for a Black Tie Wedding, and I found it. The shoe is understated and did not detract from the gown. This shoe gave me the height I was looking for and the comfort. The quality for the price was what you would expect.

Great Shoe - These are my first David Tate Shoes and I definitely will be looking for more! Very comfortable for heels. Could use a little more cushion inside but far better than other brands I have worn.

Great Narrow Fit - It is very difficult to find narrow pumps that fit my high instep. These are very comfortable and stylish.

Not true to size - I really loved this shoe but it was too small. I ordered my usual 9.5N but it felt at least half size too small. I sent them back but man what a pretty shoe!! Zappos is the greatest!!

I found these shoes to be much more unattractive than they appear on the computer screen. I ordered the pewter color and was very disappointed. The shoe also has no arch.
