Pointy toe crushed! Warning! After wearing this shoe only 1 month, the pointy toe crushed in and is irreparable. I saw other reviews like this before I purchased, but I didn't believe it. I do not recommend buying these shoes!

They are beautiful, but I believed the other reviews that they fit small and went against my better judgment and ordered a half size bigger. They would have been perfect in my own size (I have narrow feet). But with an insole they are great with skirts or trousers, love them. Delivery was speedy, even to Canada, thanks Zappos!

These are very comfortable flats, even with the pointed toe! I ordered a half size larger and it\'s a perfect fit. They make my outfits look a bit dressier.

Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Arch: No arch support Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked
Cute, but not super comfortable. I ordered the brown leather in an 11 wide. Sometimes wides are too wide for me, but these were not really wide enough. They felt pretty comfortable when I first put them on, but as I wore them throughout the day they started to hurt a bit. They aren't the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned, but I'm keeping them since I wore them already. I'm hoping the more I wear them the more they'll stretch out a bit. I would not recommend for a person who only can wear wide shoes. You won't find these comfortable for you.

They look pretty and the heel gives it a different look than just regular flats. However, they make these annoying air popping sounds whenever I walk. It's too noisy so I will have to return them.

I love these shoes so much I have them in two colors. I\'m thinking about ordering a third pair. They are flats that can be dressed up or down. The pointed toe makes them fashionable, the gold trim along the inside makes them chic. People think i spent a lot of money.

I really needed a nice pair of black flats, and these certainly fit the bill! They’re quite pointy, so be prepared. Overall, the shoes are well made, comfortable, and stylish. One note of caution, they do seem to run a little narrow, so bear that in mind.

Reviewer: Debbie D from Maryland
Overall: (5 Stars) Comfort: (4 Stars) Style: (5 Stars)
This shoe is the perfect choice because it's dressier than many sandals, but not as structured as a pump. It looks great with skirts and dresses, but works equally well with shorts and crop pants. I have wide feet so I bought the wide width. It was a little bit snug at first, but it has relaxed a little and is now perfectly comfortable. The shoe is a flat, but with just enough heel to give some arch support. I would buy it again.

These shoes are too cute. I wear a narrow shoe, but took the chance that an insert would work, and it did. I wear these with shorts, slacks, skirts and dresses. I always get compliments. Good foundation shoe for your wardrobe. Only drawback is there is no arch support at all and your feet ache at the end of a long day.

Stylish. These are beautiful on the feet. I purchased a half a size larger and stuffed the toe with soft quilters batting to stop the tip from creasing. The heel is a bit stiff and there is no support, but if you want an Audrey Hepburn style, these are it.

The feel a bit flimsy and have bent a crease along the pad of my foot just from trying them on in the house. The style shows no toe cleavage. I'm sending them back because they look too conservative/witch-esque. They're super pointy!

I love these shoes! They are so comfortable! Beautiful and comfortable! Would buy them in all colors. They look good with pants and skirts. Highly recommended.

Reviewer: from Los Angeles
Overall: (4 Stars) Comfort: (5 Stars) Style: (4 Stars)
I love wearing these shoes, but I am disappointed about the crease at the tip of the toe, which formed pretty much right away. On the advice of other reviewers, I ordered a wide - the only wide shoes I've ever had - and that worked out perfectly. I'm a size 12 and they're very comfortable and any stiffness went away quickly enough that I've forgotten about it. All things considered, it's an excellent entree into pointy shoes!

Overall: (5 Stars) Comfort: (4 Stars) Style: (5 Stars)
I LOVE this hip little shoe. I'm tall and do not wear heals, but when I wear this pointed toe flat, I feel stylish and trendy (with many compliments too!). And this shoe is really comfortable . . . my foot is WIDE and by going up 1/2 size and ordering the Wide width, I have a perfect fit. I hope you love this shoe as much as I do!

I agree that the shoe is rather stiff and uncomfortable. The band of trim sewn around the opening looks better in the photograph than it does in person. I'm afraid these are going back. FYI The gold version has a white background with metallic gold spots

Comfy - Comfortable, but easy to crease. Totally recommended for the fashionista going for the classy look.

Type Z Cathy - Agree with the reviewer who said they were not as refined in appearance as she had hoped, and they're a little stiff, which hopefully will improve with wear.

A little too big, too stiff - These shoes ended up being almost a half-size too big and weren't quite as slender-looking as I was hoping.

Cute style...but I wish it came in 1/2 sizes. I ordered these in a 6 and a 7 in the soft gold color and found the 6 to be too narrow and the size 7 to be a bit too long. It is a nice looking rain boot and it appears it would be great in the winter since it has the thermal lining. My only concern is that the warm lining will get easily dirty through use especially when wearing them over skinny jeans. The dye from the darker rinsed jeans would transfer to the cuff detail. I wanted to like them, but they really are not as practical for me considering the price and folded over lined cuff. I prefer to wear the popular Scottish brand instead. As always, Zappos delivered the very next day. What wonderful and expeditious service!

So Comfy! Had back surgery a few months ago and can only wear flats. These are so comfortable! They look great with dress pants or jeans. The only down side is that I just noticed the pointed toe is showing a wear line, but I don't know how you could avoid that.
