Customer Reviews Nine West Nora Block Heel Sandal

I bought these in Light Natural Leather as my shoes for an upcoming wedding in which I am a bridesmaid. I like the chunky heel since the ceremony will be outside. It also provides a bit more support for standing all day. There are a few things that I have to get used to with this shoe, but as I break them in it should not be a problem. 1. The ankle strap comes up over the ankle bone and rests just above my ankle. I don't have very thick ankles, but it was still a close fit to get the strap around. I am on the second to last hole. 2. Due to the placement of the strap, the back also comes up over your Achilles which took some getting used to. 3. The foot bed does not have much padding and due to the pitch of the heel a lot of pressure is put onto the ball of your foot. I don't believe this to be much of an issue as long as you get some sort of support for the shoe (which I usually do anyways for anything that is not a platform) I do really like the following: 1. The placement of the straps on this shoe really keeps your foot in the footbed, so no slipping occurs while walking 2. The leather on the straps is soft and will definitely stretch, just need to break them in a little bit 3. they are very easy to walk in once you get used to the back coming up over your Achilles

I just got these in the natural suede. I wanted a block heel that would transition from summer to fall and I think these will work well. I ordered true to size and they fit me. I do not usually wear heels and I wore them to dinner with no problem. They were much more comfortable than I anticipated. I would recommend them!

I absolutely love these shoes. A big surprise since how uncomfortable Nine West shoes normally are. I've been having a hard time finding comfortable sandals with a heel so have resorted to fancy flip flops in fear of the pain associated with pressure on my toes. These have given me hope again. They are really well constructed. The wide strap over the toes is slightly cushioned so you don't feel any pressure yet your feet are securely in place. I didn't have to break them in at all! I bought them in the natural suede and am tempted to get a few more colors...

Perfect height

These are so comfortable! I have a lot of ankle issues and was in a boot leading up to my sister's wedding. I bought these and felt comfortable the entire day/night. They are easy to walk in and a manageable height. I recommended my friend buy these for a wedding and she agreed that they are the most comfortable heel we've both worn in a while. I would recommend for women that struggle to find heels that actually work for them.

Beautiful and comfortable! Bought them for my wedding shoes and can't wait to wear them! They look great, and I've been wearing them around the house doing chores and so far not a bit of discomfort and they're very easy for me to walk in. I got them in the gold metallic and they look even better in person - there is almost a slight rose gold sheen to them that makes them look really beautiful.

very comfortable cute heel. I wanted a medium height strappy sandle and this was perfect.I have wide feet that are a size 10.5 which makes buying heels challenging since I'm usually stuck with either a 10 or 11. Thankfully nine west has the solution. These were easy to walk in and didn't hurt my feet. The ankle strap fit a little awkwardly but with adjustment was not an issue. I would highly recommend these shoes!

I love this shoe. I got my first pair in grey suede a year and a half ago, which I wore to a wedding for 8+ hours, much of it standing or dancing. My feet did not hurt until it was time to leave. Since then, I have bought these in black patent, natural (nude) leather, and now this gold. The block heel, while on the high side, and perhaps a tad less elegant, provides more stability than a stiletto or thinner heel. Somehow the arch of this model from Nine West just fits my foot really well, so I'm able to wear it for many hours. I'd get every color if I could justify it!

I wore these heels to a wedding and they were perfect. I wore them for several hours and my feet never felt pinched or sore. The color was similar to rose gold, which was very flattering.

BEAUTIFUL SHOE, BUT DO NOT BUY IF YOU HAVE WIDE FEET. I bought the 10.5 because I know shows like these with the strap across the toes are never wide enough. Received it and the toe strap is tight even AFTER I sized a half size up, then it’s also big, because while I do have wide feet, my feet aren’t long, so there’s space in the back. :(

Super cute shoes, but not very comfortable. I wore these around Las Vegas for a weekend in the evenings and I had mad blisters on my pinky toes and heels where the straps sit.

Super cute shoes except the ankle strap is very short, so if you have a normal size ankle or a little larger, they will be too tight. Other than that they're great. Sadly, I had to return them. I just couldn't take the tight ankle strap.

So my issue with these shoes is the placement of the ankle strap. It's awkward. It's not below my ankle bone, but it's not above my ankle bone. It's directly on it. Which is fine most of the time I guess (although I don't think it's as flattering as if it were above the ankle bone), but the buckle pinches/digs into my ankle bone when I try and walk down stairs in them. Badly. Like I winced with every step the first time I wore these while walking down some steps. That seems like it's not a big deal, but I live in a historical building without an elevator for one, and I bought these to wear in the office where we have stairs that I use a lot to get to meetings quickly without having to wait for the elevator. The look fine and because I wore them out of the house, I won't return them, but when I was interested in ordering a nude pair, I went with the Steve Madden Carrson Heeled Sandal. The strap comes above the ankle and it's much more comfortable than these are.

This is a great, sparkly shoe to glitz up any outfit. I have worn them dancing multiple times and can usually make it through most of the night without my feet giving up.

Great shoes! Awesome for daily wear!

The shoes is stylish and looks great. My only issue was the strap around the ankles were tight. I used the last hole for fit and helped some. Didn't think I had fat ankles but maybe I do. Fits snug around ankles everywhere else fits fine.

My new favorite go to shoe for the office and date night out. I can wear all day at office and not be ready to get in the car and pull off. Beautiful tan color that compliments my olive complexion. Tan can be hard for me to find the right color sometimes.

I always buy Nine West heels (med width) because they run narrow and I have a narrow foot. Wearing these to be a workerbee at the prom. The block heel gives me extra comfort, since I will be on my feet much of the night.

These arrived super speedy (as usual, thanks Zappos!) and were comfortable on the first wear right out of the box! Great style, heel height was perfect for dressing up or pairing with cute slacks or capris!

Love this shoe. Although it was higher than I usually wear it is very comfortable and easy to walk in. Looked very nice with stretchy skirt I'm pairing it with and I can see many uses for this shoe. Where would we be without Zappos!

Love these shoes! Color is great and they are comfortable.

I rarely wear heels and if I do these are the ones! They have become my go-to wedding shoes, comfy enough to last all night and the simple design matches all types of outfits. I added a glue on cushion (foot petals) to stop my foot from sliding forward, otherwise these were comfy out of the box. I have relatively wide feet and it’s hard to find heels that are comfortable — I now have these multiple colors and thinking of adding a few more to my closet!

These were so comfy! I wore them to a wedding the first time I wore them and my feet felt great all night and the next morning!

Perfect navy color for my dress and the heel is very comfortable. Nice dressy shoes!

True to size and perfect for outdoor events. The slightly wider heel made it easy to walk around outside. Very comfortable. The ankle strap is fairly small but not terrible. Would definitely recommend.
