These are comfortable and classic shoes, even for long work days. They are very flexible and have just enough heel to elongate the leg without being uncomfortable and painful. One drawback is that the inner liner of the shoe seems to tear and separate somewhat easily.

I have big feet, size 11, and it's not easy to find comfortable and stylish heels for work, but these more than did the job. I have bought 3 pairs so far. If you wear them constantly to work, they last about a year and a half. If you rotate them well, they'll last much longer.

Great fit. Super comfortable. I am hard on my shoes in general, and they quickly became scuffed - especially easy to do in the toe area on the point.

I was devastated when Nine West stopped making the Barbe pump, and I have found the Flax to be an ok replacement. It's not as comfortable as the Barbe, which I felt like I could wear all day and be as comfortable as if I was in sneakers, but it's still more comfortable than most heels.
Generally good quality. Did have some problems with wear on the end of the toe on my first pair, so on my second pair, I had my shoe guy put on taps before I even wore them for the first time. That seems to have addressed the problem

I wear a size 10 and have flat feet. These shoes are very comfortable, though like most shoes, you should wear them for only a few hours at a time and then let your feet rest for a day or two before wearing again. They look fantastic with long, flowing trousers as they have a very flattering pointed toe. The leopard is also a subtle and classic print and gives a tan or cream suit some real pop.

First time wearing them, received so many compliments. Unfortunately, like many shoes, they needed a bit of breaking it but overall very comfortable, cushy footbed. Perhaps a bit narrow for me, hence the first time wearing discomfort. Can't beat the sassy blue kitty print and the heel is just the right height for style and all day comfort. Love, love, love!

Beautiful sexy but classy Black leather shoe. Rich looking. But they hurt like HELL after 30 minutes. They fit my size 9 feet very well. No sliding heel, no toe box cramping. But the lack of arch support and padding under the balls of my feet made these hurt so badly, I ended up taking them off at the out of town venue I attended and embarrassingly doing a Britney Spears. I walked around barefoot! That's how much they hurt! Love the shoe, so I'm going to get some Foot Petals and try them. My feet measure 10 inches from heel to longer 'second toe.' At the widest, right below my toes it measures 4 inches. Don't have particularly wide heels, I'd day average. And I wear a B. Again, the 9B was fine. Just horribly uncomfortable.

Cute but appearance isn't quite as high quality as I had expected. Shoe material looks a little plastic. They're also about 1/2 size smaller than I expected I terms of how they feel. I'm going to return them for a larger size.

Great basic pump. I measured the heel and it's closer to 3.5 inches. After a little breaking in, it's quite comfortable. The poudre photo is accurate, it's a pale nude. So versatile!

True to size & have found Nine West is good for a narrow width. Ordered the Yellow Boom Boom Kitty & love them. Wore with winter white slacks, received many compliments. Glad I went out of my comfort zone. Not a regular heel person & don't have good arch so used pad support for ball of foot which made more comfortable.

I purchased the Flax in blue multi fabric in 9 medium along with Drusilla in black floral synthetic and Corso Como in black silk calf. The pattern is more consistent on mine, meaning the heels are not as off white as the picture shown, and that will show less dirt from driving. The synthetic lining will probably stick to my feet at first, but my slightly wider right foot felt fairly comfortable. I only tried these on in a carpeted room, but so far so good. Very pointy but elegant. I love the pinky lavender and windex blue and navy tones in the pattern. I may buy more of this style.

This is a pretty pump and reasonably priced. The croc looks great! I purchased the wine color - which is rich and a perfect match for this season's clothing. It does run longer than marked. I always wear a 7, but had a gap in the back of the shoe and am returning them for a smaller size. Gotta love free shipping and returns!

This is an elegant shoe in a classic design. I typically wear a 10, but ordered a 10.5, which fit like a 10, but without the pinched toes I generally suffer in a pointy-toed shoe. The sides of the shoe seemed a little low cut, and I had some spillage on the outside opposite the ball of my foot and seemed unrelated to the sizing. I won't be spending all day in these, but they're nice for a special occasion.

I wore these for a holiday party and they held up rather well. I guess I would not want to wear them to walk around all day, but for standing around at a party for several hours, they worked just fine. I even had to walk several feet in 6" of snow to get to my car and it did not hurt them at all! I thought that they might be a little bit too high for my comfort level, but I was pleasantly surprised how good they felt.

I ordered these pumps in the Multi Camel Hair and they are amazing! The heel is just right, not too high, and very sexy. I also bought an Austin (also Nine West) in a different color, and decided to exchange the Flax for the Austin. The Austin is equally sexy, but a little more padded on the insole and the lower heel will be better for me running from meeting to meeting at the office. HIGHLY recommend both shoes!

The width is great. The heel size is very flattering. They are very nice shoes! Unfortunately, they seem to run a little big. There is about a ¼" in the heel. Hopefully a size smaller will work.

Love this shoe! Heel is the perfect height. I have always been sceptical about ordering a shoe online. This was my first and it is a winner!

These are well made shoes and are a perfect height for the office but I don't love the color. I was looking for a dark brown and these are more of a chestnut. Still, a nice pair of shoes for a reasonable price.

Very nice heels. I ordered the Brown Crocs. They're a dark brown and look god with browns and blacks. Nine Wests run a half size long on me so I order a half size down to get a nice fit.

Not a fan. These shoes I have had less than a year and wear them very infrequently. Because I drove a stick and didn't want them to get messed up I carried them in a bag and changed when I got to work. Despite that the linig is tearing on both shoes. I also find them kind of difficult to walk in. Almost like I have no balance. Not happy. If I could return tehm I would.

I'm normally a size 7 but pregnancy changed all of that so I ordered a 7 1/2. My left the shoe fit like a glove and the right side was a finger to big. I fixed that real quick by adding a heel liner. They are super comfortable, amazing looking, and the red suede was a great pick for me! After I put on some weight I can not seem to deal with the 4 inch heels. But these shoes have the perfect heel height and yet still sexy. I ordered them late Saturday night and received them Tuesday morning. Thank you Zappos for an amazing job getting my orders in earlier than expected!

They're really quite narrow at the toe, but hopefully some more breaking in will help out. The color is tremendously awesome, though! Very excited to wear these at my wedding!

These shoes can go with a lot of outfits and are a great way to bring in some print. They are not the most comfortable pair of Nine West shoes that I own but they are not the worst either.

These shoes are so cute and I get compliments on them from everyone. They are not the most comfortable pair of Nine West shoes that I own but they are decent enough to wear when you are not on your feet all day.

Great shoe for the price as far as looks. I wear a 5 1/2 across the board, but knew these looked like a 6 when I pulled them out of the box. They fit like a 6 as well.
