These shoes are perfect for spring and summer. They go with a multitude of colors and fit well. I think they are true to size. The heel is a great height - not too high.

I have these in red- they are SUPER cute. The raised foot bed makes it a very comfortable heel height.

LOVE THESE SHOES!!!! I have arthritis in my big toes (seriously?!?! I'm 43!!!) and can't wear heels at all! Only clogs and sneakers with orthotics for me! So I needed some sweet heels for a wedding (I thought I could suck it up for a few hours) and saw these -- really didn't expect that they would be comfortable or that I could tolerate them but figured with free returns, I'd give them a whirl! I was soo excited when I put them on! Totally comfortable and look fierce! They look so high and don't feel high at all -- perfect! I actually bought them in the tan color for another dress and a few weeks later, ordered them in black. So sexy and yet comfortable! Get a pair!

I love these shoes. I am not a high heel shoe wearer but I had to have these. They are comfortable considering they are high (for me). For someone who does not have foot problems, they will probably be very comfortable.

I love this shoe! It looks like a much higher heel than it is, and it looks much more sleek than in the side photo. With the platform, I feel like I could go running in them. My feet also run a little wide, but the medium fit me just fine.

These shoes are the best. I found these shoes at a department store and thought to myself. I really do not need another black pair of shoes, but I purchased them anyway. I love these shoes. I am always looking for platform front toe shoes. They seem to work best for me since I am pretty short (5’2”) and I wore these shoes the 1st day and thought I would need a backup pair in case they started to hurt. I was so wrong. I wore these shoes all 8 hours on my feet during the day and never once did I complain. I wore these shoes 3 days in a row at work and still can’t complain at all about these shoes. I normally buy 1/2 size bigger so I don’t get the rubbing, but these shoes I purchased in my exact size and they are wonderful. Not too high and not too low. PERFECT. Thank you for finally making a shoe I can say nothing but good things about.

Elegance, Style, Comfort, Timeless. The Perfect Combination. Nine West, in its flawless tradition, has created yet another wardrobe essential which will always be in style. It really was love at first sight when I found these here at Zappos way back in October. At last, I found the culmination of dazzling style, graceful elegance, surprising comfort, and the perfect heel combination in both its style along with wearable height (so perfect, I find myself wearing these Karoo sandals from daytime to nighttime). With this genius design of perfection in every detail, what could make this even more of an ultimate wardrobe addition? A dress sandal, my ultimate wish! Thank you so much Nine West for creating these works of art. Oh, and thank you Zappos, for carrying all the colors that would accent EVERY facet of my wardrobe's collage.

The shoe fit, color, style and size were good. The sole was so slippery. I had to have a shoemaker add a rubber non-skid half-sole so I wouldn't fall.

Easy to walk with, not too high, and sexy. I also like the fact they are made of leather and not synthetic material like most shoes in that style and price range.

I danced for 4 hours in these shoes at my daughter\'s wedding reception and never thought about changing into my spare flats!

I recently purchased these shoes to wear at my son's wedding. Love the platform (key to comfort), heel height is just perfect for me, color and style, very comfortable shoe. I never took them off. I wore them the entire day and into the evening, dancing, etc. The color of the shoe is marked "light brown", but the shoe is actually dark brown, which is what I was looking for. I will be ordering them in black ASAP. I can't say enough about the comfort of this shoe.

These shoes are very comfortable and very cute. I ordered the light brown, but they are very dark. I don\'t mind though, since the color works great for me.

Super cute, sexy shoes and not too high! Comfortable for the most part, but when you never wear heels anything with a heel will hurt your feet. All in all I would definitely recommend these.

These shoes are actually comfortable to wear. They are the first pair if high heels that I have owned that didn't hurt my feet/arch at all. The only issue I had was that the brown was more metallic purpley than a brown.

I totally agree with the first review, I hate heels, too! Never wear them. Putting these on was a revelation; the platform totally makes this shoe comfortable! Now, I'm not going to start wearing heels, but do look forward to occasions when I can wear these without discomfort.

I love and loathe heels. I love to look at them, I love to sit in them, I hate to walk in them, I fear to dance in them. I look like a spastic rhino when I try and walk in anything higher than 2.5 inches. I know there are others like me out there. I hear you out there. I see you, lumbering down the street in 4 inch stilettos, just praying to be hit by a taxi. I am one of you. But fear not! This shoe rocks. It has a hidden platform, so a three inch heel feels like a very manageable two inches. I just got home from a wedding, and I didn't want to throw them in to a fire. In fact, I'm negotiating with my husband to order them in another color. They look amazing for the price, and are more comfortable than my Louboutins. The peeptoe is crucial. If it's too small, you wonder what the point is. If it's too large, your foot ends up looking like some bizarro baby hand. (You do need a good pedicure for these. I'm not going to lie.) I'm generally not big on sling backs, but I like these because I have a wider instep and narrow heels. Perfect for a girl that likes to cultivate the pinup look, but hates to work at it. If loving this heel is wrong, I don't want to be right.

Can wear these with everything like dresses, jeans, skirts. I wear a 7.5 and these are true to size. Only complaint is that the holes are not really spaced evenly. I used the second one back and the strap did not lay flat. I need to figure that out or else I may need to send back. Ruins the sleek look. The patent is not super shiny, more matte than I was expecting, especially on the right shoe. Not a big deal, but don't expect a really glossy look.

These shoes are really cute and go with everything! The foot bed is a little hard, with little padding, so they are not the best if you are standing all day, but they are very cute and don't rub, which is nice.

I hardly ever wear heels, but I wanted to buy a neutral pair for special occasions. I love the beige color. I have not worn them out yet, but they feel very comfortable and seem easy to walk in. The back strap secures my foot. I have a narrow foot and normally wear a size 7 and this 7 fit good. I would definitely recommend this shoe! The only reason I didn\'t give it 5 stars is because I have not worn them all day yet.

I searched and searched for a nude open or peep toe shoe with a "not too high" heel for my brother's wedding over Labor Day, and came across these Nine Wests. I have a pair in the same style from the spring that is fabric, so I knew what to expect from a size perspective. They run true to size; I am a 6.5 and that's what I ordered. The 3 inch heel is right at my comfort limit. The platform part takes a bit of getting used to, a bit of a rocking motion, but I was familiar from my fabric pair. Note the suede platform; the only negative is that the material (note these are not real leather) across the top of my foot is pinching a little bit. I think they will stretch and this will not be a problem, but I have a relatively narrow foot. If your foot is wide, this could be an issue for you. Overall, a very cute shoe!

Very nice shoe; very classy. Fit very well. I usually don't wear heels, but this is for a wedding, so despite the high heel, the shoe is very nice.

I needed a nude/taupe peep toe heel conservative enough for work but cute enough to wear in the event of happy hour & early evening. This shoe fit the bill. All the nude peep toe designer brands started at $200 and even then I couldn't find a perfect shoe. It is practical, sturdy, light weight and runs one half-size larger than marked (as more generic brands tend to do; I'm a true 8-1/2 so ordered 8).

Beautiful shoe! I recommend extra padding at the ball of the foot, however, and some anti-slip pads on the bottom of the shoe for better traction. Perfect nude color; love the faux suede on the platform.

These shoes are very comfortable and run true to size. I bought them to wear with my Easter outfit and I hope to wear them many times this summer. They are easy to walk in and I do not wear heels that often. They are sexy and stylish and I\'d love them in a few different colors! The multi colored leopard print is very different and unique.

I really like these shoes. I am not 100% crazy about the suede-like cover on the platform part of the shoe, but it's not a deal breaker. I am keeping them. I can't find any other platform black leather slingbacks that are as nice as these and as stylish, so I'm sticking with this pair. They are comfy and pretty and sexy, and appropriate for the office or for an evening out. The leather at the toes did pinch a little at first, but it softened up and didn't cause any problems. I am very sensitive to hard leather on shoes, so most people wouldn't even notice. But if you tend to have a wider foot, it might be a problem.
