Vaneli modesta - Greta looking shoe. I wore at my son's wedding and everyone raved what a sexy shoe! Probably not the best shoe to dance in but it was stylish and looked great!

I was my sister's maid of honor last weekend so I chose this shoe because it was a nice style and came in a wide width. Nice soft leather. I recommend a padded insole for the ball of the feet because these became uncomfortable after being on my feet for a while.

I don't wear heels often and I have really narrow feet. These shoes are cute and comfortable (I was able to dance the night away at a wedding). My only "complaint" is I wish there was one more notch in the ankle strap. However, on the tightest setting, the strap didn't move too much and I did not experience any chafing. Having a slightly tighter fit around the ankle wouldn't have really added to the comfort level, it would have been more of a "mental" assurance that I was strapped in tight. If I wore heels more often, I don't think I would have thought twice about the tightness of the ankle strap.

I wore these shoes to a wedding for approximately 6 hours. My feet hurt in most shoes and these were no exception. However, I danced for hours in them and did not have to take them off until nearly the end of the event.

I've tried on a lot of shoes for a wedding that is coming up. These shoes are one of the few comfortable pairs I tried. I'm going to keep these. They are not perfect, but I think they will work.

Great shoe, but the 9.5 narrow gold metallic is larger than the same shoe in bone.

In general, I have a very hard time wearing any heels…I have problem feet and wear Earth shoes (flats) on a daily basis. I needed a heel for a special occasion. These shoes provided the answer…the heel is not too high...The shoe seems to provide fairly good arch support as I have a pretty high arch and usually have difficulty with this area too as well as bunion issues...The straps allow for room in that area too...This is a very versatile shoe...as it can be worn with just about any dress.

Zappos is phenomenal! Thanks to a fabulous selection and free shipping, I was able to find a relatively comfortable shoe for my wedding. This shoe was very attractive (silver), elegant and a comfortable height. I have a difficult foot to fit (compliments of a successful bunion surgery and Morton\'s neuroma), heels hurt after a short time. For most, this will be a great shoe. Only a thick rubber sole would score a 5 for my feet on comfort.

These shoes lived up to the other reviews. Good fit and good for a party. Only negative: very little arch support if any. Can't find good shoes for that anymore! I would recommend these shoes.

I rarely wear shoes like this. I'm a classic, flat sandal person. As a mom of the groom, I bought these for a wedding. There is basically no support/cushioning, which usually means pain for my feet. However, I wore them all evening and didn't even notice I had feet until the end of the evening. They fit well and to size; I loved the heel, not too high. No rubbing, no problems.

My daughter wore these shoes for her friend\'s quinceanera. There was a lot of dancing & the shoes stayed on & her feet did not hurt. No problems with these shoes. They are cute!

Cute shoe! I thought I'd give this shoe a try based on the other reviews, even though the photos make it look a little frumpish. But once it's on your feet it's very pretty. I read on another online shoe store that the shoe runs a half size small, so I'm glad I ordered a 9N instead of 8-1/2N because my toes would definitely have spread over the end of the shoe. I'm still breaking the shoes in so the straps are tight on the baby toes, but the leather is soft and should give a bit. I won't be dancing like a lot of you gals. I'll just be happy if I can walk the round trip from my cruise cabin to the dining room!

These dressy sandals hold my very narrow feet in place without sliding forward or sideways. The straps are pliable enough so they don\'t hurt my toes at the pressure points. I am pleased with stitching which seems quite secure. They are a deluxe looking pair of shoes which I am pleased to own.

These shoes are pretty cute; not too high which is nice. They were very comfortable when I first put them on, but when I wore them to the event I bought them for I found that they did start to hurt me on my pinky toe, but only on the right side. So, it may have more to do with the fact that I didn't break them in at all.

Not bad for a dress shoe - First dress shoe ever that was actually wide enough for my feet! Of course I had to go to a double wide, which is not my normal size, but dress shoes always run so narrow. Interestingly, it seems that the extra width is all in the straps; the soles are still pretty narrow, but beggars can't be choosers, I guess. I have worn these to several events already this summer - a couple times I had to walk a few city blocks - and the straps did not hurt my feet at all. That said there is absolutely zero cushioning, so my feet were still tired and sore after a few hours of standing, but I'm really not complaining. Anyway, I got the silver color. It looks nice and goes with just about everything.

These are stylish and comfortable, but length is short. I ordered my normal size and a half size up and they were both short.

Nice dressy sandal - I bought these in gold, & they are beautiful. Comfortable enough for formal wear, but not as comfortable as other Vaneli shoes I own. Straps made marks on my foot after a few hours. Still, I'd recommend them.

Nice bride shoe - Plastic heel caps are always way too slippery. I always take new heels to my shoe repair guy and he glues on a thin strip of rubber -- no unexpected falls or near misses and the clack-clack of heels is reduced. Try it!

I ordered a 9.5 narrow and the ankle strap was too loose and couldn\'t be shortened further. The lining on the shoe was peeling off so it didn\'t appear to be a good quality shoe.

I normally don't wear heels over 2 inches, but I thought I'd give this pair a try for a wedding I attended. They looked great, but after walking around for half an hour I had to switch to a different pair of shoes due to the pain in the ball of my feet. The shoes were true to size in both width and length. There is no padding in the foot bed and no arch support.

These are so cute, the look I was going for...but they are so tight on my little toes! I just knew I couldn't spend my wedding worrying about my shoes all night, so I had to return.

After only wearing these shoes for only one night, the silver has already worn off! It was quite disappointing to pay so much for only one use. I would recommend the shoe, but not in silver!

I recently purchased a pair of patent Vaneli Modesta shoes for an anniversary party I was to attend. I needed a shoe that was a wide width, but most importantly, I wanted a shoe with a leather sole, for dancing. If you've ever tried to dance in shoes with a rubber sole, you know that it is nearly impossible to do so. I also wanted a strappy shoe with a heel at least two inches. It was impossible to find anything like that in my town or the next. Most wide shoes look like work shoes. Zappos was recommended to me by my neighbor, and what a pleasant surprise! These shoes were comfortable from the minute I put them on, until I took them off five hours later. Customer service is A-1, and you cannot find that anywhere today! Delivery was the next day because I ordered before 1 pm. I love Zappos and have now purchased my third pair of heels from this great company. Thank you Zappos!
