This shoe is way too narrow for me! I think these would work for someone with a narrow foot. My foot is not narrow but it's not what I would call wide either, however, my foot hung half way over the side (above the strap). The Style is super cute though.

Cute, but not comfy. These run very narrow in the toe box. Going to return them.

I ordered the Nora Block heel in gold. It looked perfect online, but in person the gold leather was kind of cheap looking. Also, as another reviewer noted, the strap that goes around your ankle is too short - I have pretty normal-sized ankles and I was on the last hole and it was not comfortable. It would have been better a little lower on my ankle. Sadly, these are going back.

Ugh, Like all the other reviewers, I wanted to LOVE these shoes... I have been in search of a chunky heeled Black Strappy sandal since forever but they did not work for me! I am a tall woman with large feet, naturally. I am 5'10" and can wear an 11/12 comfortably. When I saw this shoe, in a size 12 (which is perfect for nine west heels) I immediately hit purchase! I tried them on in the house and they were great. I took them to work, changed into them and wore them effortlessly, around the office. They were so comfortable, I decided to wear them out of the office during my lunch break... EPIC FAIL!!!! I managed to get four NYC blocks before I was in TJMAXX looking for a pair of flats or hell slippers to take these things off!!! Maybe my feet are too wide or fat because, well, I am fat... LOL but they cut into my feet so badly that I have blisters on each of my big toes as well as in the back where the heel rubbed against the back of my ankles. The bottom/ball of my feet are not too thrilled either. The shoe is too flat, a bit of a platform could have cured that problem. I cant get a cushion because they're already too tight. The strap is not long enough, I literally had it on the last hole and I could feel them rubbing as I walked. Sad that I have to begin my search again. Maybe this style is just not for me. Enjoy ladies!!!!

I just got these shoes and they are super cute. I am a 5.5 and that is what I ordered; they fit just right. The wide heel gives good support while walking. The only negative I can see so far is that the sole is not vert textured so they will likely be slippery.

So comfortable. My favorite block heel sandals. I have these in grey and just purchased them in nude. I am a size 8.5 and have a narrow foot and they are perfect.

Loved! I had my both hips replaced- 10/17 and 1/18. I never thought I'd wear heels again. I normally wear flats but like heels for dress up. My previous 'go to' heel was the classic Nine West Flax pump. My first vacation post surgery was a trip to Jamaica that would include evening entertainment and dancing. I definitely didn't want to wear the pointy heeled pumps. These look so much like the Stuart Weitzman Nudist collection at a fraction of the price. I thought the wider heel might work for me and provide more stability for me- be safer for the new hips. Well, not only were they comfortable right out of the box- but I danced my tush off- in heels!!! Yay for these!!!

The strap across the toes was narrow and gave me a blister from rubbing against my large toe and it also left a significant indentation across my pinky toes. I really wanted to love this shoe. The block heel is attractive and provided great support while walking. The leather was nice but did start to wrinkle in the toe strap after a day. Zappos was great about returning them.

These shoes are adorable. They can be dressed up or down. The heel height is perfect. The straps are comfy. The size felt accurate but they were slightly more narrow than my feet, so when I looked at myself head on in the mirror it looked like my feet were swollen. Sadly I had to return them but I wish I hadn’t needed to! If you don’t have wide feet, I’d highly suggest.

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!

This shoes fits great, and I would’ve kept them except the texture of the shoe (silver finish) doesn’t seem durable. They seem like they would scuff or scape if I bumped into something. Shame. Kept the pair in Black that I ordered at same time.

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.

These were great - I bought them to wear to a wedding, and it required almost no 'break in' period...i wore them around the house for a little while for a few days, but that's really it. Day of the wedding, I was on my feet quite a bit for the majority of the night (cocktail hour, dancing, going out afterwards, etc)...and these were fine, and I don't really wear heels like these regularly. I mostly wear wedge heels, so a blocked heel is the next best thing (can't do stilettos anymore!). Anyways, the nude color goes well with a lot of outfits. I got a 1/2 size bigger than my normal size, and that worked out perfect.

I didn’t think the shoe was comfortable enough. The thick straps dug in a little and I didn’t think there was enough cushion in the sole. I also wish the straps were a little thinner. This isn’t a bad shoe but it’s not what I’m looking for so I’ll be returning it.

Gorgeous heel. I am a true 8.5, Med Width. The Nine West "Pruce" heel felt perfect across the band and true to size. The model "Nora" is narrow on the band and felt a 1/2 size small.

Pretty shoe, but have always worn a 7.5 Medium and when these came, way too narrow in the front where my foot actually hung over the shoe. Unfortunately these had to go back

I did an internet search to find the most comfortable heels to wear to a wedding and these were on the list. I’ve worn them 3 times now and can agree - for a high heeled shoe, these are very comfortable. I love the way they look too - I receive multiple compliments every time I wear them to work. I’m normally an 8, but it was out of stock so I tried an 8.5. Just a tiny bit big but not enough to make a difference - I’m glad I ordered, I love these shoes!

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. :(

Amazing! The most comfortable pair of heels I own, wore them out all night with no issue! Definitely are on the narrow side, only 3 toes will show with the toe strap.

By far, the most comfortable pair of heels I own! I even got in two different colors to match different clothing. They do run a half size smaller than I usually wear, but highly highly recommended.

I was so excited to receive these shoes for my daughters first communion tomorrow - however I received old used shoes! And unfortunately new ones will not arrive in time. I’ve been a loyal Zappos customer for years and currently very disappointed. Please check quality of shoes before sending them out.

Love love love this shoe. This and the black pair are my go-to summer work shoes. The heel is not too high (for me) so I don't feel awkward walking around the office in them.
