Overall:

These shoes are super sexy and a good quality. Due to the height of the heel, they are not wearable for long periods of standing, walking, etc. I suppose they could be more padded, but I think it just goes with the territory for this heel height (I did double up on the foot petals though to try to mitigate it). No rubbing, and comfortable in heel and toe box.

Weird Shoe - These shoes looked pretty cool, I usually like unique stuff so I figured I'd give them a try. They fit my feet, but the super high angle was awkward. They were too hard to walk in for me, and I'm usually good with heels. It takes a certain kind of person to wear this shoe. Anyways, the materials were pretty cheap looking, too.

Zinc Vanity Black: I thought these shoes were a little over the top for the office, especially with the peep toe and the bulky look, but once I had them on I realized they will be a nice contrast to my plain black suits with gold buttons along with gold jewelry to match. They are comfortable, tall, fit true to size, stylishly unique, and lightweight. I also got them in the blue color, too, and can't wait for them to arrive.

Love these however, the back elastic is pretty severe so be prepared to stretch these out or buy a bigger size than usual.

These are so comfortable and versatile, too. Small frame, I find them true to size. 5’ tall, I find them just a bit longer than I’d like (common because I’m short). Simple pants, but they receive a lot of compliments. A great wardrobe staple... good buy. As usual - it was awesome service from Zappos!

Zinc Vanity - These shoes are def cute, but there are a few things I’d like to mention. First is the peep toe. if have never been super fond of peep toes, but if thought I’d try this shoe cause it was cute and it reminded me of D&G line of shoes, just cheaper. Anyway, the peep is a little uncomfortable cause it cuts into your toes...especially the right foot. But it could be because my right foot is bigger than my left. The other thing is the little 'zinc' label under the shoe laces. I cut it off. It’s rather silly. Other than that, these shoes rock! I have them in the blue! Very fun to incorporate into my wardrobe.

Very sad - This is the first not-so-great review I have ever written on Zappos, but I am very disappointed, with the boot not Zappos! I should have read the description better, because the boots are not leather they are "man made" and feel like plastic - very stiff and not worth a quarter of what they cost. They are going back in the box and goin’ to Zappos a.s.a.p.

Overall:

A great stylish boot!These run 1/2 size big. Leather is very nice but stiff so be prepared to break them in! They are very unique. I got the brown patent, which I like as a contrast to having black patent. These are pretty casual, but could be dressed up because they are patent. They look tough and that's why I like them! Keep in mind the calves are narrow, which is fine for me, but thought I should mention it. Customer Service is SOOOOO great at Zappos, since I ordered them too big I had to return and they did an exchange for me on a Friday NIGHT and I received my new size boots on Monday! Fast friendly service puts them far above any other shoe site, especially since the returns are painless!

Overall:

A distinctive shoe, but very heavy.To be honest, when I saw this shoe online, it reminded me of the hooves of Clydesdale horses. Still, I ordered it because it was different and the heel looked sturdy and both those things are true. However, because the heel is so thick and the arch so steep, it is almost like wearing a wedge, which I personally find uncomfortable to walk in. This shoe is also as heavy as it looks, which may make long-term wear difficult. The arch support seemed good for the short time I had it on.

You may need a lesson in walking...You can't just throw these on and plod around, you have to "sashay". I have these and I think these are hot! They take me down memory lane to "back in the day" and I have no problems wearing these...and with "the 40's" being the new "30's" they make this grandmom look and feel young and not just at heart! They are comfortable, sexy cute, and make me look "phat" & "proper" when wearing them to do business. These will make you 5 inches taller and are not for the inexperienced "shorties", &/or faint at heart. You need confidence when sporting these bad boys! I wear and 8.5 and they fit me true to "my" size. If you feel the need for a little "funky" in your wardrobe without the "trashy" then these will fit the bill.

No pain, no gain!I 100% agree with everybody... the shoes are sooo hot and I’m only 5'2 so I love the very high heel; however, these shoes are sooo unconfortable! I am keeping them, I will suck up the pain!

Cute, But Not So Comfy - I bought this shoe in the pink to go with a pink skirt (silk) with gold undertones. It matched perfectly. Unfortunately, it was not in my size 7. Sooo, in order to match my skirt I had to go down a size to a 6 1/2. It worked, but it was a little snug. Because of that I was not able to walk for very long in them. So I would suggest that you order your regular size and you'll be fine... if you can deal with the 5" heels.

Penny pinchers - I have these shoes in red and I have to agree with the other reviews. These shoes are way too cute to return!!!! So what if I can't walk more than 10 minutes in them. Their under $100, so that is pretty reasonable by shoes price standards. These shoes will give you that vintage glam look with a little twist of mod. Plus, if you are already tall like me, you will definitely get noticed. You’ll be taller than all the guys!

Overall:

A good choice if you like your shoes to be TALL - I stalked these because the pink is just so cute and I knew it would look good with my pale ruddy skin tone. Zappos didn't have my size so I had to get them elsewhere. Well they're here so let me tell you: the gold wedge is really over the top. Like almost in a bad way. I could never wear these shoes anywhere during the day - yet they are so casually styled that I'm not sure where I could don them appropriately at night either. It's the way the buckle looks and jingles when I take a step. It's the reflective gold wedge. It's the gold spray over the pink upper. As for comfort well these are just fine. I think if you have a wide foot that you'll hate them. I have a narrow foot and they are perfect. For your own protection I suggest putting in a bit of moleskin underneath the straps because they feel like they'd cause some blisters at the toe strap. That is, if you have room for the moleskin. Sizing? Order your regular shoe size. Zinc tends to be all over the map when it comes to fit but these shoes are delightfully true to size.

Very Cute - I bought this shoe in red. Too cute, runs alil' big, but it's a must have. They make your feet look so small. The heel is narrow, so if you think it's a wedge, it's not. I only wear heels, so it doesn't matter.

Ouch ouch ouch, but damn I look hot!I have been wearing this type of shoe all of my life. This is the hottest looking shoe ever, but it seems to roll you forward. They are very hard to walk in and are very uncomfortable. Still, I didn't return either pair, because they look so good. Great for short jaunts and a guys arm to hold you up.

Sparkly...Ok, these shoes are much more sparkly than in the picture. I opened the box and thought about Dorothy in Oz. That said, even though the shoes didn't work out for daytime wear they are great for "out to dinner" shoes. The hidden platform makes these shoes more comfortable than they would appear and the straps across the instep keep them firmly on your foot. I hope Zinc comes out with more colors on this one. Zappos, as usual, AWESOME SERVICE. I just don't get tired of saying it. AWESOME.

Overall:

5 inches...not an easy feat. GOOD: These shoes are super cute. I have them in red. They're 5 inches! This doesn't have anything to do with the shoes, but Zappos customer service is nothing I have ever experienced before. I bought 4 pairs of these shoes, 2 black and 2 red in different sizes. I returned three of them all in one box, but one pair was lost and they said they would credit me the amount anyway. NO fuss no muss! I LOVE YOU GUYS! BAD: The glitter flecks on the white parts of the shoe, but they're subtle. They're 5 inches! 4 inch heels are a piece of cake and I thought 5 inches would be no big deal, but unless you have experience as a stripper, these shoes get pretty uncomfortable and impossible to walk in after 20 minutes. And to top it off, every time you take a step it feels like you could tip over. They are impossible to dance in unless you have something to hold onto. All in all, I love them anyway and I’m keeping them. I even danced in them, but my feet ached like heck. I think they're worth it because they're HOT! Got tons of compliments.

Super Cute Shoe!!!!I originally bought the red and black Meadows in size 9. However, I had to return and exchange for 8.5. The side of the shoe gapped open on my right foot (which must be slightly smaller than my left). The smaller size fits much better. These are super cute shoes! Love the contrast of the dark colors with the white heels. I haven't worn them out and about yet, so I am not sure how they would be for a long outing. My current plans for them would be for a nice evening out with slightly more sitting than walking.

Mellow Yellow - This is a great shoe - more of a muted yellow - not Easter Egg yellow. Haven't worn it all day yet, but fit is great and seems very comfortable. Love the gingham lining.
