The minute I saw them, I knew I had to own these shoes! I love them! Perfect fit. I bought them in navy; they look great with jeans and with my work clothes. Lightweight and very comfortable. I would recommend them to anyone.

These are very comfortable and true to size. I get lots of compliments on them and I can wear them all day easily.

These are very comfortable shoes! They are definitely light and airy as described. I wouldn't have guessed the uppers were leather as they felt similar to a very flexible plastic (not in a bad way); partly why they feel so comfortable.

These are beautiful shoes! I ordered these shoes in bronze and couldn't wait for them to arrive. They are gorgeous! I needed a wide width shoe, and have only received a little irritation from the solid X strips where the foot slips in. They are tight on me in that area but I think they will require a little time to break in. The heel height is great and easy to walk in. I am still amazed at how fast Zappos delivers. Thank you!

This shoe is very comfortable for walking even though the heel is 3 inches. I agree with other reviewers that the shoe is a little larger than normal and thus you may need to order a half size larger than your actual shoe size.

Great shoes! Really comfortable and very stylish! I have wide feet, and it's hard to find stylish shoes that fit. I just discovered this brand, Bella Vita, and have another style that's also great.

These shoes are very cute and stylish. They remind me of shoes I've seen in movies of the 1940s. I followed the reviewers' advice and ordered a 1/2 size smaller. Unfortunately I should have ordered my regular size. I have had to return these and sadly there are no shoes left in my size...

I have not been able to find comfortable high heels in 15 years (since my foot widened after pregnancy). These shoes are comfortable. I agree with the comments that they are longer than usual. I usually wear 9.5 and bought a 9 and it was fine. It does cut in a little at the toe, so I put a clear band aid there and it was fine.

Chic, cool, comfortable, stylish - this shoe in white is the essence of summer and is a natural with sleek summer suits or sundresses. Who knows, they could bring back pearls and white gloves as accessories! This shoe seems to use the same platform as the Bella-Vita WREN style which is one of my favorites. They are wear-all-day comfortable with padding (soft but not "mushy" so your foot slides all over in the shoe). The heels look higher than they feel because of the platform and are sleek looking but not "wobbly" - they are stable. One note: I have many pr of shoes with this "platform" and for some reason this style seemed a little bit bigger than the other shoes I have - I have gone down a half-size to keep the shoes from slipping off my heels. Possibly the "cutouts" cause the shoes to be a bit "stretchier" or maybe it is because the "Wren" shoes have adjustable backstraps and these have standard heels. Whatever, they are great.

What A Find!!!
This is perhaps one of the best high-heeled shoes I have ever worn...not only that, it comes in wide width, which is just what I need. The additional, yet nearly hidden, little bit of platform on the ball of the foot makes this shoe the most comfortable pair I have ever worn. Highly recommend, especially in black :)!

Finally a shoe that REALLY fits a wide foot -
I bought these shoes because I liked the platform look to the sole. I have bought many wide shoes that I could not get my feet into. I have size 7 feet that look just like they could peddle one of the Flintstone's cars. I purchased these in a 7.5 WW and they fit in the width! I should have stayed with the 7 because my feet come out ever so slightly at the heel, but the ballet is in 3 days, so I can make do. Overall, a great shoe that REALLY WILL fit a wide foot!

With Bella-Vita, generally you can’t go wrong. Great shoes - same platform as Wren and Teeker which are oh so comfortable without being mushy and look higher than they feel due to the platform and are stable due to the very well-placed heel. However, I find that the pair I received ran a little bit larger than Wren/Teeker (I have many to compare them with). I need to go a half-size down (they do slip off the heel). In white, these shoes are the essence of summer.

Cute & Comfortable!
A great spring/summer pump. The shoe is actually very lightweight. The leather is soft which makes the fit extremely comfortable. Looks great with cropped pants.

I thought this was a 5-star when they arrived! It's my first pair of shoes ever to fit on first try, and they felt comfortable, too! The joy didn't last throughout the first full wear, though. I'm able to wear these to events, but not for a full day or evening; they create tender spots on my 4th toe of all places. I always get compliments, but frankly I'm undecided whether they're "old lady" shoes or not. I like their look except when I look down at my feet. Still, 4 stars! Easy to walk in, attention-getting, great for short-term events.

I just thought this was the cutest heeled shoe, BUT it did not work on my foot. I love the comfort of Bella-Vita, but since I have lost weight, I cannot wear their closed-heel shoes it appears. I bought a pair in this color and another pair in the bronze. Both were swimming in the heel and I could not keep them on my feet, even to walk across the room. In addition, leather rubbed the top of my feet a little bit. Sadly, I am returning these. I will just buy a BV backless shoe or adjustable strap until I finally lose the remaining weight.

This is my Bella-Vita shoe. I ordered the Navy 6.5 Wide and it fits perfect - if not just a bit of room. I don't think it is a full 1/2 size larger, but maybe a hair large. Very comfortable with no pinching anywhere. The heel back stays on for me and the heel height is something I can stand in all day and more alluring than a flat. Somehow when I ordered this I thought it kind of looked old lady-ish with the moderate thick stem and the perforated leather, but once it is on it doesn't show that way at all. All in all, cute and comfortable shoe.

A full size larger than usual; otherwise a great shoe!
I have huge feet (11WW) so I was thrilled to see this gorgeous shoe in that size. When it arrived though, I was shocked how big it was on my foot. I re-ordered a size smaller (same width) and that fit perfectly. Other than the sizing issue, this is a darling shoe that is comfortable AND chic - a rare combination! Highly recommended!

Pretty Summer Shoe -
I buy all Bella-Vita shoes. This one flips off the back of my foot, like it's not sturdy enough. Should have made it a sling. And I bought 1 in white and 1 in Bronze.

This is a really cute shoe. I ordered the wide, which fit alright, except for the heel being loose. I tried several different inserts and liners to make it fit better, but none worked correctly. In addition I felt that the perfed leather was not very strong, would not wear well.

Tried both sizes 6.5DD and 7DD. It seems to run about a quarter/half size large. As others have written, I mega-swim in the heel in my usual size 7- it is just too long for me. My toes are short, so perhaps this contributes. I could probably wear the 6.5 but it would not be comfortable without stretching them out. In contrast, Bella-Vita fabric Thai (with elastic connecting the front and back) fit perfectly in the 7DD. My foot is probably a little wider than a DD, so the patent portion felt tight. Patent hasn't stretched as much as regular leather for me in the past, so this could also be a problem. However, I love the platform at the ball portion of the foot so it feels more like a comfortable 2.5" heel than a 3". If you are halfway between sizes in length, this shoe should fit you perfectly in the smaller size.
