I ordered these since I wanted to dress up for career day, but being a teacher I didn't want to be uncomfortable. I've been wanting these for a while and hearing about how comfortable I purchased them. They were too small and made my toes feel cramped. I'm a bit disappointed that they run smaller than true size.

I wanted to love this bootie wedge but it was horribly too small. Especially in the toe area. I am a true size 10 and these felt at least a whole size smaller. Very disappointed.

The toe is much more rounded than I thought and size definitely ran smaller.

I sent them back due to them feeling a little too big. I didn't like them as much in person with the laces so I kept my Dolce Vita wedge boots instead. So if you are between sizes, order up!

Overall a comfortable wedge. Not a ton of support on the inside but an insole did the trick. Gray color is versatile.

Love, love these wedges! They are so cute and very comfortable. I have high arches, so I wish they had a little more support in the arch, but I can still wear for hours.

I loved my regular Toms until I developed a mild bunion and they don't provide a ton of support. These are a great option for me since I can't wear regular high heels anymore but still want to look stylish.
I'd also recommend:

These were pretty good, super cute, but the toe box was a little small for my somewhat wide foot and it didn't seem like there was enough arch support for my high arches. I was sad to send these back.

Toms have good reviews for a reason. They are really supportive and comfortable. I got these in the grey and even though they looked kinda boring in the box they looked good with every outfit I tried them with. I didn't end up keeping them but that's because I was wanting something a little dressier. If you're looking for a casual bootie that will look great with jeans or skirts then I'd definitely recommend you try these!

Pretty comfortable for someone who NEVER wears heel/wedges of any kind. Wear them to work which is mostly sedentary but there is an occasional long walk to a different building with only minor pain on the sides of my feet (I have wide feet btw). I do not recommend to wear for long periods of walking especially if you have wide feet.

Overall loved these shoes! I am usually between a 8 and 8 1/2 and after reading a few reviews I decided to go the 1/2 size larger and I'm glad I did. Length wise the shoe fit spot on however it is a little loose around the ankle. They are so cute and comfortable, wore them out the first day I got them and my feet did not hurt the next day! Only thing I don't really like is how long the laces are, other then that they are exactly what I wanted! Definitely recommend!

I mostly love these shoes, even with the platform, they are pretty comfortable. The only thing I don't love about them are the laces. They come untied so easily and it's a little clunky to double knot them.

I bought these shoes for my mom. She loved them! She has a bad ankle. She says they fit her supports and are extremely comfortable. My mom can't wear any type of heel so this is definite progress.

The description stated that the heel is 2.5 inches, when I measured it it was exactly 3 inches. This half inch takes it from a mid-heel to a high-heel in my book. Too high to be walking around the city for hours, which is what I do. Otherwise, cute and comfortable but must return. I would not have purchased had the description been accurate.

I bought these black suede booties, a pair of Croc booties, and a higher heel Tom's to try and the Tom's lower heel won. I don't normally like Tom's shoes because they fall apart but these are a sturdy bootie that I suspect will stand the test of time. These are fairly comfortable but being a more stiff suede (which I wanted for ankle support) the top edge does hit my ankle like another reviewer stated, and it was a little more uncomfortable than I had hoped, but not unbearable.
I am a size 11 and these are true to size. I have a slightly wider foot (not wide enough to fit into a wide shoe though)and again no problems with them being too tight. The toe is rounded so there was plenty of room there too. I wear a heel insert in my one shoe because my legs are slightly uneven. I was able to wear a 1/4" lift without it putting my foot too high out of the bootie which was good for ankle support. The platform isn't much on this shoe but did provide a slight amount of offset to the heel height. These shoes are fairly flat inside, with a slight amount of arch support.
The heel is covered in suede (which looked so much more sleek than the plastic heel on the Crocs version) and the rubber bottom had plenty of traction from the get go. I didn't like the laces. They are very hard on my hands because they need to be pulled tight prior to the tie, and definitely pulled tighter again once you finish the "bow. Pulling them tight I had no problem with them coming undone. I also didn't like the silver eyelets, it turned a sleek boot into a work boot look only on the front. I'm considering removing the eyelets and getting different laces, just because I can.
So all of that said, I wore these for 4 hours (with a medium thickness sock)in NYC walking around here and there, without breaking them in (which is a HUGE risk) and my feet didn't hurt. My ankle was a tiny bit sore from the rubbing. I had to take off a star for the ankle rubbing and the shoelace issues, but other than that, I do recommend them.

I love this shoe but it feels a little tight. I am just not used to heels anymore. Is going to be a fun and cute (sexy) shoe for date nights.

I thought the shoes were comfortable enough to walk around in all day but not necessarily as comfortable as, say, Chucks. I felt there could have been better arch support but the width and size were very accurate.
The color is also a very cute, chinchilla grey which goes well with most outfits and could be worn for most of the year.

Bought these to wear with my beloved leggings. Nice when I want something a little dressier than my converse or riding boots. The souls of the shoe are comfy, but the back of the shoe is very rigid and leaves red marks on my heels. Hopefully as time goes on, this will get better as I break them in. But for now, I just don't wear these if im going to be out for an extended period of time. They are super cute though!

I love these wedges because they go with almost everything, but they are tight in the toe box! Today was my first day wearing them, so I'm hoping that goes away. If they break in, I will definitely consider getting another pair in a different color!

These are surprisingly comfortable. I'm not a fan of heels so was looking for a comfortable wedge bootie. I got them in black and they look great. The shoelaces are annoying because they keep getting untied but otherwise I'm happy w/ the purchase.

I love the look of these, but I found these a little too stiff for me. Also, the metallic linen was a little shiny for me. These did run true to size.

Great shoes, but I must return them. I needed a 1/2 size larger.
