J. Renee

Soncino

Women's

I have a hard time with heels due to bunions. These worked so well for my daughter's wedding, I ordered them in another color too. The area over the ball of the foot is somewhat wide and has some give so it was not a bunion issue at all.

Holy heels, Batman! Put on these J.Renee Soncinos and get ready to rock... because you can!! The fit is superb - I knew to order one size down 'cause they're open toes - and the heel height, heel location, and the sole texture/material are absolutely perfect for anything from a rumba to an east coast swing in spite of the open back. The style of ankle strap holds the foot securely. I wouldn't have believed anyone had they told me so... and I'm a sixty-two yr old new to ballroom dancing.

I wanted to love these shoes. I can't wear high heels and as a younger person with a plethora of joint issues and narrow feet, I thought I'd found a wonderful pair of stylish shoes that I could wear to events including an upcoming friend's wedding. The problem is how much more I would need to tighten the ankle straps from the last hole given. If you see the photo I'm attaching, the metal bar is at the very far left of the strap, a good inch beyond the last hole. With it tightened this much I get all the rave reviews: I can walk and feel stable, they're relatively comfortable (I would have to add some padding but that's normal for me) and again as a young person I feel like they're stylish and on trend. Using the last hole punched by the manufacturer, My entire foot comes out the back of the shoe with one step it is so loose. Yes, my ankles are somewhat narrow so I'm used to using the last hole but this is beyond anything I've ever seen. So disappointed because there really isn't anything else on the market right now similar to this to even try.

I never write reviews, but this shoe deserves it. I'm someone who struggles with perpetual foot problems -- soreness, puffiness, toe cramps, blisters, you name it. Finding a comfortable, cute shoe is a never ending struggle. This heel is wonderful -- stylish and comfortable. I wore them for 12 hours on my wedding day, and felt great the whole time. They are worth the money. (I'm in early my early 30s, if that point of reference matters to anyone.)

I do like the shoes a lot! Very comfy so far. The color I ordered though has sequins on one shoe and none on the other. I think I'll glue some on becasue I need them for an even coming up and dont have time to return them for $99 though i dont think i should be gluing anything. Disappointed
