Beautiful shoe. Perfect heel height. Great with pants or skirts/dresses. Wonderful to get the narrow width.

This is a nice shoe. I had to return it because the dress that I am now wearing to a wedding has changed.

I bought these for an upcoming wedding where I am the officiant so I will be on my feet for the entire ceremony. They feel very comfortable so I think I made the right choice. We'll see!

Perfect shoe. The heel isn't too high and is very walkable. Well made. The gold tone is not brassy, but is elegant. Narrow shoe is true to size.

I purchased this sandal last season in silver. It was my "go to" metallic sandal all summer long. I wore it so much the silver has begun to rub off, I plan to take them to a shoe repair to see if they can salvage the color because they are truly very comfy and pretty. I absolutely love them. Small sizes are true to both size and width. Very versatile, I highly recommend.

Very comfortable shoe, bought it in both silver and gold. I was surprised that the half size bigger was a perfect fit. Have used Vaneli for years, but their shoe lasts seem to be variable lately.

Perfect go-anywhere and goes with anything sandal. Nice delicate heel, low height so can wear them a long time. I liked them so much I ordered it in black as well. Runs true to size.

I read the reviews so the shoes were pretty much as I expected. I do not have much padding on my feet so wish they had more padding on the ball of the foot. They did run a bit small so that feedback enabled me to purchase the correct size the first time. But they were comfortable and beautiful on the foot.

Got these in gold. They make my giant fat feet look normal! Great shoes, wore for 7 hours straight, very comfortable. The next day numb feet, but worth it.

I bought these shoes after reading other reviews saying how comfortable they are. And I have to agree, they are really comfy for heels. I wore them all day for a wedding and was really happy with them.

The fit is true to size, both length and width. Very comfortable shoe with just the right size heel to wear comfortably. Will look nice with sundresses or something more dressy.

I bought these shoes for my daughter who has a wedding to attend and will comfortably wear them, now that we\'ve found the right size. She\'s always a 4, 4.5 but in this shoe she was far better off in the size 5! Of course, she has another two Vaneli\'s, both in size 4. Go figure. But this Modesta is low enough that she won\'t have any difficulty wearing it for the night. She\'s had two ACL surgeries and needed a lower heel. A shoe at this price point is exactly what we rarely buy because we\'re usually in Stuart Weitzman\'s or DJ Pliner\'s. For such a reasonably-priced shoe it\'s well made. I\'d say it was true to width but not true to size. Order at least a 1/2 size up, if not a full size. The silver is a true silver and aside from just an evening shoe, I\'d wear this shoe with jeans. Great buy!

Style and Comfort - I ordered these late Saturday evening and they arrived Monday morning. I ordered a 7WW and it fit beautifully. Without time to break in the shoes, I wore them to a wedding where I danced or mingled for 6 hours. Not one blister or pinched toe! Modesta is one of the best purchases I've made for shoes. One note: Heel height is listed at 2 1/2 inches but the actual height is 2 inches. I recommend this shoe to anyone with wide, hard to fit feet.

I could have danced all night, and tried. Wore to two wedding receptions and was the only one still wearing my shoes at end of the evening. Would highly recommend not only for comfort, but for the wider width and style, too.

These are beautiful, comfortable shoes; they fit true to size and width. They are great for dancing, too; the heel height is perfect if you need to be on your feet or if you are dancing the night away! Zappos has the best service, too!

I bought these shoes in the silver to wear to a morning/noon wedding and afternoon reception. I wore them for 6 hours and danced and they were comfortable and beautiful shoes. I highly recommend them if you are going to be on your feet or dancing.

I ordered this shoe for a wedding I planned to attend; the silver or the gold would have gone well with my dress. At first I ordered the gold, but Zappos did not have it in stock, so I decided the silver could also work. The silver shoes came the next day (yea Zappos!) and they fit perfectly and were very comfortable. My husband and I were planning on joining in with the dancing at the wedding, so we were practicing our dance steps for several weeks before the wedding day. I wore these shoes whenever we practiced and my feet never were sore or tired. So in my opinion these are great dancing shoes besides being very pretty and flattering to legs and feet. I liked them so much, I ordered them in black patent. While I was ordering them in black patent, I saw that they were now available in my size in the gold, so I ordered both black and gold. That tells you how much I like these shoes. When I received the shoes, the gold ones fit perfectly (like the silver), but the straps on the black patent were not made correctly. The black straps were too short and misplaced around the toes compared to the silver and gold, so I had to return them. I would like to try to reorder another black pair sometime in the future. I highly recommend these shoes for going out and for dancing, they look great with day dress, evening dress, or even dressy jeans. A friend told me Vaneli is a good brand for people who have a narrow heel. I think that is true; I frequently have problems with the heel of a shoe being to wide, but not with Vaneli, they fit my feet very well.

I bought these shoes for my son\'s wedding. They were comfortable and were available in a narrow size which I needed. The heel is the perfect height and they were easy to walk and dance in. I hope to have an occasion to wear them again.

I was surprised to see that this shoe really looks good on my daughter's foot. Some strappy metallic shoes can look cheap but the Modesta looks wonderful. It fits small so I'd order at least a half size up. The width is perfect so the B-width should fit a medium as it's supposed to. The bonus is the price because we usually wear Stuart Weitzman's or such. This shoe was bought for a wedding and my daughter finds it so comfortable that I think she'll be dancing as much as she wants!

This is a very pretty shoe. I particularly like the leather sole, hard to find, and the lower heel. I usually wear a AA shoe, but I find that this shoe runs narrow. It also needs some padding for the ball of the foot. The style is not flattering for my feet that do not have a nice arch, so I may try to find another style by the same maker.

Great shoe overall. My daughter is getting married next August so I bought these for her garden wedding. It's hard to find a wedge heel that's dressy, so I am thinking about keeping these since they are so unbelievably comfortable. I bought 4 pair to try and these by far fit the best and I feel like I could wear these all day. They do leave out my baby toe, but so do most shoes I wear (it's considerably shorter). The heel is just the right size for me; shoe is stable and back strap holds on to your heel. Fit true to size and probably the most generous in width for a B width. Great shoe. Love the silver color.

Because these shoes are for my wedding, comfort was the most important thing I was looking for. These shoes are not only extremely comfortable (the heel is really low), but look great as well. I would definitely recommend these shoes to other brides!

Ordinarily, Ii will go to great lengths to avoid wearing any shoe with a heel. However, a wedding a reception demanded dressy shoes. I am fortunate that I chose this shoe as it was completely comfortable, easy to walk on and dance in for hours on end.I would recommend this shoe without hesitation. BTW, I generally take between an 8 and 8.5 and the fronts of my feet are wide. The 8.5 was on the large size, but was perfectly comfortable and did not slip and slide.

I ordered this shoe and the very similar (and 3x the price) Stuart Weitzman sandal. I sent the SW back and kept this one because I found it more comfortable and just as nice looking! A very comfortable and attractive low-heeled dress sandal.

I just wear them around the office at work, but they have yet to make my feet hurt. They are constructed so the straps don't really rub anywhere, and they have a good, practical heel height. They look reasonably cute on your feet. A lot of the reviews say the leather is also really soft, which I don't find to be true in the black patent -- maybe the metallic ones are different.
