Worth the money for a comfortable versatile high heel shoe. Easily transition from work to evening. I have a hard to fit foot with a wide toe span and a narrow ankle. This shoe works great. Love Kate Spade.

My favorite pump. I have two pairs (black and camel). They're super comfortable (for a pump). I wear them to work all the time. I normally wear a size 5, but found that the 5.5 were perfect for me. This shoe has a lot room in the toe area, so my toes don't feel cramped and smooshed by the end of the day.

I have a lot of Kate Spade shoes and this is my first experience with them not running true to size - run small. Also the color on these is not a true nude - much darker like a latte coffee

I wish I would have sized up!!!! These shoes are gorgeous, high quality and worth the investment. However, I ordered my regular size (7.5) and promptly wore them upon arrival. At first I thought they just needed to be broken in but I quickly realized they run a bit small. Half a size larger would have been perfect. I am a true size 7.5 and never have to size up so.

Beautiful shoe, I thought it was very comfortable. I returned it only because it did not go well with my dress.

Very comfortable considering how high the heel is. Wore these the first time to a wedding for hours - no problems. The glitter also stays on really well. I got my heel stuck in pavement and expected all the glittery to be rubbed off, but they looked completely fine. Only thing to watch out for is that the surface is rough and may catch on nylons. I was just super careful. Got compliments.

Perfect classic pump for work and fun! I was looking for a nice round toe pump, and found one that works great! Quality craftsmanship and classic styling will make this a perennial favorite!

Very pretty but still a little tight and too much to cleavage for me. Will keep up the search for the perfect black pump that looks classy and travels well.

I'm 46 and suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis. I love to wear pumps but lately, I have found it difficult and painful to wear them. Not with these, I ordered them based on other reviews. They are the perfect shoe. I have worn them to events and kept them on for hours. Best shoe ever. I would recommend them to anyone. They are comfortable but stylish - and the absolute perfect height.

I have another pair of the Karolinas and love them - they are so comfortable! I was excited about getting this pair but the color is much browner than I was hoping for - I was thinking it would be more nude but it really is camel - very brownish and much darker than I wanted. I really don't think the brownish color is versatile enough and I will be returning.

I love these shoes! The silver glitter adds just the right amount of glamour to otherwise simple, elegant outfits (and they also dress up jeans, nicely). They are surprisingly comfortable for heels of this height. I get compliments on them every time I wear them.

I loved these shoes except for one major thing. The color did not work at all for me. It is like a mustard yellow/brownish color more than a nude.

Love these shoes! I purchased them for my wedding, and they have been delightful. They are sturdy, the glitter does not fall off and they are super comfortable. The only thing I would say is that they feel just a tiny bit big, but not anything an insert wouldn't fix.

Gorgeous! I got these in the glittery silver and they do not disappoint. Very glamorous and sexy! The toe shape and space is perfect for my rather wide toe splay (on otherwise slender feet), which makes pointy shoes too painful to wear. The heel height is also perfect- tall enough to be sexy, not so tall as to be difficult to walk in. These will look stunning with a cocktail dress and chic with jeans. Highly recommend.

The Karolina is a very comfortable shoe with a manageable height. The sparkly things do fall off a lot, not changing the look of the shoe but leaving a trail.

I got these yesterday and wore them at work for 8 hours. A lot of time on my feet, going up and down steps and walking around outside - these are the best heels I have ever owned! I have never paid this amount for heels. I usually spend less than one hundred. I was recently promoted and I have bloody blisters on my toes and heels from 3 days of wearing different heels. I will not wear any of those previous shoes again, what a waste of money. I wish I would have just bought these in a first place. I wear a 10 narrow and they fit like a glove. I don't know what else to say, I love them!

I'd say these babies feel way better than Jimmy Choo. I wouldn't say they are flawless, but definitely above average. A little bit tight in the toe box because my feet are wider than regular. But I can still stand them for a couple hours.

I hate wearing heels but some times I just have to do it...and when I do, I do these! I have one in black and nude. Not only do I get compliments on them but I also can wear them all day long! You are crazy not to get these! They are super comfortable and you don't need any insole or anything! I presented at a conference, stood up teaching for 3 hours, walked all over campus, and ran through an airport in one day all in these shoes! I felt secure and comfortable! If you're worried about the price, don't! I am very careful with my money and I can tell you that these are worth the investment! I have had my black pair for 5 years and they still look brand new! I would die if Kate Spade ever stopped making these! Love!

I am a standard 11N. I ordered that size in this shoe and find it to be really wide. The toe box was okay but around the arch the shoe really gaped open.

These shoes are so fun!! I bought them for my wedding and I couldn't be happier with them. They are true to size and very comfortable. The only thing is that they leave sparkles absolutely everywhere (not always a bad thing). A lady working at a bridal shop told me I should use spray glue or clear spray paint to keep the sparkles on. I am hesitant to try because I don't want to dull them at all. Absolutely beautiful shoes.

I bought these pumps for my wedding because I liked them a lot. The size fitted me perfectly. I am not a high heel person, I really wear heals maybe once a year so these shoes felt a bit too high in the beginning and I was afraid I wouldn't make wearing them too long. Additionally I have sensitive feet and almost every pair of new shoes gives me blisters or causes wounds so I was scared with these ones too. Fortunately I was wrong: they appeared very comfortable, no blisters, no wounds and I could walk and dance without any problems. The only drawback is that since the shoes are ivory white, you can see every dirt or stain on them. But well, they served on that special day very well!

The issue with this shoe is that there is not enough padding for the ball of my foot. Everything else is perfect. You have to be willing to get insoles for the shoes to make them good enough to wear all day. They look exactly like the picture though and are definitely beautiful and comfortable everywhere except the ball of my foot.

Show stoppers and attention getting for sure!! Fun shoes and surprisingly comfortable! I've had hip issues and have been "out of heels" for 3 years. Couldn't bear to wear flats to this formal event. I survived the night and didn't have pain the next day which is typical for me after I break the "flats only" rule. Definitely going to buy this style in other colors.

This shoe is drop dead gorgeous! I'm so upset because one shoe fits perfectly and the other crimps my toes so badly that I can't walk in them. I double checked the sizes...it's as if they are two different sizes completely but they are not! I guess the one was either mis-marked or cut smaller for whatever reason. They are so beautiful and I waited for them to come back into stock! Of course, the quality is unsurpassed and again, they are gorgeous! I will base my description/survey on the shoe that fit! I wear a 5 1/2 and ordered same. Oh, I am so bummed!
