Customer Reviews Nine West Ambitious

Slightly more narrow than the black ones. I did order wides in both color but the nude pumps just didn't fit the same. So I am keeping the black ones and will look for a different style nude pump. The nude pump makes your foot look bigger.

These shoes would be perfect except that after a while, they crack where they flex, at the top sides. I know four people with this show and we all have the same cracks in the same place.

Perfect black patent pump for work. Too bad they didn't fit. My foot runs on the wide side. I usually wear a 7, but have had to buy a 7.5 in some brands. Bought a 7M - will exchange for a 7.5W.

These were beautiful shoes but I felt like one of Cinderella's ugly stepsisters trying to squeeze my foot into them. I can usually wear a 6.5 in dress shoes but this did not work for me at the regular width. It's too bad because they looked like beautiful shoes, managing to look both professional and fashionable at the same time. The heel seemed a little higher than I was expecting but from the little bit that I was able to attempt the shoes, it was manageable. My comfort score on here is hard to rate since I couldn't fit in them in the first place. I'll try a wide for the first time ever if they come back in stock but if your feet are on the edge, you may want to try wide first.

After reading all of the reviews on here, I really wanted to like these shoes. Unfortunately, the quality of the shoes was not great and the shoes would squeak every time I walked.

I've only had these shoes for 3.5 months. They've been worn 1-2 times each week since I purchased them. SO COMFORTABLE and easy to wear. Unfortunately, my left heel broke off while at work and I walked around in socks for half of the day! I will be ordering another pair because they're so darn comfortable, and I'm hoping this was a fluke! I'm not sure if they can be returned since they've been worn several times now.

So disappointed! After waiting and waiting for my size to be available they run too big for my size 5 feet. I think Nine West has enlarged their sizes because I never had this problem before. Also the toe is too round...my seven year exclaimed "those are grandma shoes"... And also too much toe cleavage. The hunt for perfect pumps continues.

Love the look of this shoe but they kill the balls of my feet. I have them in the black and taupe. I bought an insert for the balls of my feet and it certainly helped. Perfect for date night and the office as long as you don't need to do a lot of walking.

The description of this shoe is incorrect. I never wear anything more than a 2.75 inch heel, which is what this heel equates to according to the product description. But, this heel is actually much higher than that! Maybe it differs across shoe sizes (I'm size 8). Anyways, I measured the shoe to be a 3.5 heel with pretty much zero platform. These killed the balls of my feet the moment I put them on. On a positive note, the shoe looks beautiful and I really like the rounded toe (no pinched piggies!). Seems true to size. But sadly these were an instant "no" for me just because of the heel height.

These made me sad. I bought them several years ago, but I never wear them, as I purchased them specifically to wear with my Army Service Uniform. In between military formals and inspections, they live in their shoe box. I took them to a conference this past weekend and noticed after the second day of wear the lining separated from the outer shoe along my toes. I just ordered another pair and will try again, but was expecting more than a half dozen or so wears out of them for almost seventy dollars!

I have had them for only a few weeks for intermittent office wear and they already need a trip to the cobbler as the heel is separating from the shoe.

Love the way these shoes look, but the heel broke after only a few months.

I really want to love these, but I kept them out of sheer desperation for a reasonable day-to-night patent pump. They weirdly pinch my instep right above the big toe. They are otherwise perfect. Unfortunately, the pinching causes the threading in the shoe to separate from the patent material over time and now I have a weird white thread exposed that makes it looks like I dropped dental floss on my instep. Bummer.

God, I really wanted to like this shoe. It's gorgeous. Classic. The heel is a height that is sexy, but in a classic, understated way that doesn't look like one is trying to hard. The only problem is that one of these was making a very noticeable and irritating creaking sound. I've never heard that before!!! I kept wondering if it was our wood floors under the carpet that I was walking on, but it wasn't! So there's no way I'm keeping these and they're going right back. Too bad, because it was a winner, hands-down, in every other aspect: fit, style, leather quality, heel height, to name a few. Darn it!!!

This shoe is really cute, and I was excited to see it in wide. It is as cute in person as on the website, but it is definitely not a true wide shoe.

Nice looking shoe but not for my wide feet! Even the 8W was not wide enough for my feet...also they run a half size big. I am usually an 8 1/2 and the 8 fit but too snug on my foot.

These shoes are gorgeous! Very accurately pictured. My complaint about these is that they are quite narrow. I ordered a wide width even though I don't necessarily take a wide in most shoes, and they were still too tight. That said, they are so pretty I am seriously considering keeping them anyway. :)

Really loved the look of this shoe, but the toe box runs very narrow. Foot looked like a stuffed sausage (not a good look!).

I bought 2 styles of the same shoe! Gorgegous! However, I always wear a size 9 and have a narrow foot. Both pairs seemed to run small (I ordered 8.5 based on reviews) and pretty narrow especially in the toe box. I'm returning but getting the next size up and hopefully I can keep them.

These shoes are beautiful, but a smidgen too big. They also run narrow, which actually works in my favor because I have very narrow feet. Unfortunately, I'm going to return them for a half a size smaller as my feet actually flop out when walking around the house. I'm looking forward to getting them in a slightly smaller size.

These are some good looking shoes! I bought them because the reviews said they were also comfortable, but for me, not the case! Next to no arch support so with any amount of walking my feet kill me.

I was going to send them back because they look a little old lady-like. The toe box is long, narrow, and super round and it doesn't quite go with the heel height. Sorta Mary Jane-ish without the strap. But I've needed red shoes forever and today I needed them for an outfit so I wore them. Surprisingly, lots of compliments! Especially from guys - must be something about a lady in a pair of red heels. ;-) Not my favorite but for the price, they will do.

I should have gone with my instincts and ordered my usual size, but instead went with the reviewers who said to order 1/2 size down. Unfortunately, they were too tight so these are going back. I like the style of the shoe but after trying them on in person, the natural/taupe color was a little too light for me. Still in search for the perfect neutral pump.

I wanted to like this, I really did! I always read the reviews / watch the videos so I have to warn you, the angle of the video is misleading! The toes are extremely rounded and made my legs look stubbly (I'm already pretty short, 5'3'' so that doesn't really help). Comfortable heels, but the style leaves much to be desired. Hope other people had better luck with this shoe!

True to my experience with other Nine West shoes, these run a little big. I probably could have sized down from an 8 (my usual size) to a 7.5 (which I never wear otherwise). I got these to wear to a black-tie wedding and they were just polished enough for the occasion, though they really look more like a work shoe. They aren't especially comfortable and they aren't especially fashionable -- they are nude and neutral and they serve that purpose well enough. On first wearing, I wore a raw spot into my foot, at the front of the shoe where it curves along the big toe joint. This is definitely a pair of shoes that will require a lot of wearing in.
