Customer Reviews Nine West SpeakUp Flat

I really liked these shoes but had to return them because they were too small by about a half size. Also were narrower than I expected. Unfortunately, the next size up was not available.

I like the flats but I think they're meant to be broken in slowly. I got blisters at the back of both my heels. Also, while I don't care for "toe crack" showing I liked the overall look. I guess because of the discomfort I'm iffy about them, but at the same time they looked good on me.

I really like the style of this shoe. I’m hoping that it becomes more comfortable with time. Currently, they are a bit tight.

While the shoe is comfy be aware of the material/color you select. I made the mistake of purchasing "Black2 Fabric Fabric" and it makes the flat look fairly cheap. It is not as smooth as it's pictured. It's quite a shame given that the style and comfort is exactly what I was looking for.

These are so stylish looking, but like many of the reviews state they aren’t the most comfortable if you’re feet aren’t narrow. So I would say if you’re willing to take the time and effort to break them in, and if you’re feet aren’t wide these will work for you.

Very basic with no cushion or support at all.

Cute but VERY narrow. I guess if you have very narrow, tiny feet, these would work for you. I wish I could wear these because the navy/floral combo is so pretty!

Show was too big. The fabric is beautiful and I will order in a smaller size.

I liked the style, except couldn't believe how big this shoe ran! I purchased in my usual size, and there was a good inch of space between my heel and the back of the shoe. I triple checked the box to make sure they sent me the size that I ordered. Take into consideration when purchasing. Overall it was a nice looking nude flat!

These flats are absolutely adorable! The floral pattern is the perfect for dressing up a more basic looking outfit and that needed pop of color. However, the first time I wore them I nearly cried with pain. My office is a third floor walk-up, by the time I reached the top of the stairs I had blisters forming on my heels. The tops of my feet were also destroyed by the end of the day and I wanted to throw them in the bin. Being stubborn as I am, I was determined to wear these in due to how cute they are. By the third wear it was tolerable. Still not a comfortable shoe, but they don't make my feet blister anymore. They fit perfectly in my normal size, but remember these are flats and they take that to heart there is no arch support or padding to the footbed.

The show is not comfortable to wear throughout the day. Very stylish but the fit was off and it definitely hurts my feet after a long day.

I love the print of this shoe but unfortunately, it did not fit. My feet are a bit wide and the edge of the shoe hits right at the widest part. To add to the problem, the material is stiff and unforgiving.

These fits perfectly. I am 10.½M size. That is hard to find. The only problem was that these were too flat. The heel is almost non existent. I felt like I was tipping backwards.

Sizing was spot on, that yellow suede coloring is superb, I feel they would break in relatively quickly, but the man-made lining will take your feet to sweat-city in no time. For that reason they're going back.

Cute, but not super comfortable and the pointed toe is slightly long to be stylish. I ended up keeping the checkered, size 9.5. Oddly, the red was to too big but the same size.

This toe of this shoe is much pointier (is that even a word? very sharp "V" point) than it appears in the photo. Also although it was comfortable straight out of the box, I think if it stretched out even a little bit it would be flopping off my feet so I returned it.

These are the best flats ever, but after wearing them off and on for over a month, the seam is coming apart on the right heel. Super bummer.

I absolutely love these shoes - so cute, but within 10 minutes the back of both of my heels were bleeding. Fortunately Zappos has the best customer service ever and took them back even though they had been worn.

These shoes are just okay. They have a nice shape and classic look to them, but I was disappointed with the quality. Unlike other Nine West shoes I have, the leather felt cheap and there is no support whatsoever. I am returning because I think the cost was too high for the product.

I was a little disappointed in these shoes. They're not the same quality as other Nine West shoes I've bought or tried on recently. They definitely rubbed the sides of my feet at first. This has subsided some now that I've worn them a few times, but it really shouldn't happen at all. Also, they look a bit cheap. Overall, they're OK, but I would try a few other brands first.

The shoe was too wide and too long

I love this style and ordered this Speak up model in black, patent black, red, blue, nude, and red snake skin. I also ordered a couple of the colors in as size 6 and size 6.5. the sizes and comfort of the shoes vary by color. The 6 fit better for some colors, while the 6.5 fit better for others. Ultimately neither size was a good match for any as the size 6 was too small and the 6.5 too big. The shoes in the snakeskin color are not only harder and less malleable, making them more uncomfortable to wear, but they actually seem narrower that the colors in the suede-like material (blue and red). The blue and red shoes were stunning, vibrant yet classy colors. The black and nude are classic and beautifully simple. The patent black are glitzy. BUYERS TAKE NOTE: The description here on Zappos state they are man-made, but all of the shoes except the patent black state they area made of genuine leather.

These shoes aren’t cute enough to develop a bunion because of its narrowness. No sweat changed the make of the speak ups. They used to have more of a sleek look to wear in the office with a suit or for happy hour; now they look like ordinary softened payless shoes. I’ll be returning them

Tight, flat, and uncomfortable. Plain and simple. When designing a flat shoe, arch support should be considered.
