Customer Reviews Nine West Nora Block Heel Sandal

I love this shoe and it was perfect to go with a certain look for an event I was chairing. The quality is very good and overall pretty comfortable, but not really comfortable. The height is great, not too tall & not too low. I am 5'2" so I have to get some height and I cannot do a 4" heel. After wearing them for 5-6 hours (did not sit) they did rub blisters so bad that I had to be careful what shoes I wore for the next few days. The strap across the toe is just too tight. And also a little around the ankle strap. I ordered two sizes and ended up keeping the bigger size because of the toe strap. I will keep wearing these, but will be conscious of how long. They can be dressed up or down so I am very happy with them.

Shoes are great looking - but I was glad to take them off after 3 hrs of standing. In fairness, I usually have more of a platform shoe, so I don't routinely wear this incline. I didn't find anything odd about the strap on my ankle or find it too small as other reviewers have mentioned.

I love the shoes... But the shade of orange was a bit lighter in hue than depicted. None the less I still wore it and got complimented. It felt comfortable to my feet.

I usually wear a 7.5 but this shoe runs large. I ended up exchanging a 7.5 for a 7 and it fits well, a 6.5 would probably work too for me. The color is beautiful and I like that the ankle strap is high. The arch support is ok - not as supportive as other Nine West shoes.The heel provides good support. All in all 4 starts - better support would make it a 5.

To start off, I HATE wearing heels but I was going to a wedding and dresses always look more cute when you wear heels plus I'm only 5'2". These were very comfortable but the ball of my feel started hurting eventually when standing for couple hours. I would take a break and then continue dancing though and made it through the night without any numb toes! I would definitely recommend these because they are sooo cute and the suede was so soft, received many compliments. The block heels made it easier to walk/dance in. The venue was rocky and muddy too by the way and I made it through that too! Didn't have any issues with the strap.

I ordered these in the Natural Suede. Absolutely loved the color and the style. I'm a size 5, but the overall fit was just a little too big for me, so I had to return them.

I wore these shoes to a dinner and dance, and had no trouble dancing the night away. I was a little concerned about the heel height but the substantial heel made it much more stable than a narrow heel. I wear an 8.5 and ordered my regular size and they fit fine. I would recommend these shoes and the price is right too. I ordered the shoes in silver, and they looked great with my semi formal dress. Surprisingly comfortable for the length of time I wore them (about 7 hours).

A sturdy shoe that I was hoping to be able to pull off for my wedding, but alas, they didn't work out. I'm not used to wearing heels at all, and my feet were killing me after walking around the house for an hour in these. If you're used to 3in heels though, I'm sure these shoes are great. They are gorgeous in person!

Super cute shoe, but runs big and narrow. I'm normally a standard 7M and the size 7 was tight through the front strap with too much extra space in front of my toes and a big gap behind my heel. So the 7 is going back. Bummer.

These shoes are not the most comfortable shoes ever but I put some pads on the balls of my feet and it made them a whole lot better! These shoes are so cute for summer dresses. They dress up any simple summer dress. Gorgeous shoes for sure but not very comfortable. As longs as you put some comfort pads on the balls to your feet they are definitely worth it!

I don't usually wear heels but these are very comfortable, and the wide heel makes them ideal for outdoor weddings. They are beautiful in person and can be paired with a lot of different dresses, the only problem is that the metallic ones scuff very easily. I tried them on, walked only on carpet, and I still scratched the heels. They are made of a material that wouldn't be easy to fix, but they are perfect if you wear them very carefully, or only plan to wear them a few times.

great staple to add to your closet. Stacked heel is a great look that can go from office to dressy occasional easily. Toe strap is wide enough to keep foot secure. Back part near the ankle strap is a bit high and can dig in on first wear, but softens over time

I was excited to get this pair of shoes, but unfortunately I couldn't even get my foot in them. My foot is on the wider side, but I generally wear a B width with sandals. I sent these back.

I usually can buy Nine West with no issues. These were a miss from the start. They are very narrow compared to the rest of the brand. They also had a sharp rise from ball of foot to ankle. These went back.

The size I ordered were a half size too big. Even when I slide my foot back toward the heel, there was a gap at the top on the back. The strap was very tight, so tightening it would not have helped.

These are super uncomfortable. The ankle strap is too tight and I have normal ankles. They are really stiff and cheap feeling. Loved the look but the fit was not great.

I could buckle the shoes, but the ankle strap did seem a bit short like some reviewers had mentioned. These shoes just weren't comfortable for me where the ankle strap sits when I walked around, but otherwise seemed like they would have been comfortable. Sadly had to return.

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

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!!!!

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.

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 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.

Cute sandal but size and width was too large. Foot kept sliding forward so had to return.

Everything was great about these shoes except the strap across my toes. It was a little too tight so I chose to return them.
