I love these shoes...stopped wearing heals years ago because of comfort. Needed shoes fast for an event where there wasn't a lot of standing/walking (I thought) so I got these. First impressed by how cute they are, second impressed by how comfortable. At one point I was standing for a little over an hour then walking for about 10 min and feet got a little sore--otherwise great. So happy I can wear heels again! Thanks Sam Edelman for helping this 56 yr young look sexy. :)

I LOVE these shoes. I've been searching for a shoe in this style (black heels with skinny toe strap) that are actually comfortable for YEARS. I have bunions and most shoes of this style kill my feet in the toe area. Not these - because the good folks at Sam Edelman are SAINTS and make formal shoes in WIDE. Yes!!! So comfy. My toes aren't pinched, have room to wiggle and actually spread out naturally when I apply weight to them. The block heel makes it super stable and easy to walk, and the heel height is high enough to look polished, but still be a manageable slope (for me, I've found that 3.5" height is about my max for actually being able to walk... 3.25" is even better). This is a totally flattering shoe that makes any outfit look polished. So happy I found this!

Very comfortable for a heel of it's height. The leather is great quality. This will be a very versatile shoe that I can wear to weddings and not worry about the heel sinking into soft ground.

I’m between a 6.5 and 7 so I got a 7. They are slightly loose but not enough to go a half size down. They are more purpley light blue than a baby blue.

So adorable!!...until I put them on. Sadly, the strap across the ball of the foot--which is so cute with its scalloped edge--hits right next to my bunions. Not uncomfortable (especially since I got the wide width), but it looks weird with my bunion bulging out above the strap. If you don't have bunions to deal with, these are relatively comfortable and stable. I wish they worked for me!

I absolutely loved these heels. I wore them for hours and they didn’t hurt my feet at all. I got a tiny blister on one of my heels but that was because it was my first time wearing them and I walked around a casino for 3 hours. Would highly recommend to everyone! The perfect heel for any outfit!

Love these heels. They are some of the only heels this high that I can stand in for hours and not have my arch killing me by the end. The straps fit nicely without rubbing, and they're easy to walk in.

The shoes are very cute and versatile when it comes to style.. the heel height is good, but I bought them for work and after a long day they failed the test. Not good for walking around for many hours. The scalloping on the strap would brush against one of my toes in such a way that it hurt. I would've kept them had it not been for the issue with the strap. Also the heel is chunky so they feel a little heavy over time.

Really cute shoes. I'm usually a size 8 and these fit perfectly. I don't wears heals very much so I usually need a block heel and these seem comfortable so far. I also got these in black and will keep both.

I absolutely LOVE these shoes! They are the perfect height and were comfortable after being on my feet most of the day. Great for wearing to work, a dressier event, etc. Highly recommend - buying them in nude ASAP

Very cute shoes with a not too high heel. I was able to dance in them all night at a wedding. My only complaint was that the ankle strap cut into my ankles by the end of the night and left scabs the next day,

I bought these in the black suede to go with a dress I bought for an outdoor wedding. My shoe size varies between an 8.5 and 9. In the Odila's the 8.5 fit perfectly. They are very comfortable and well made. The scalloped strap across the toes is a great style refresh from the plain strap styles you see everywhere. I wore them for the first time at the wedding and could have danced all night in them.

These shoes are amazing!! The heel height is perfection, and can wear them for hour and hours on end. I can’t get enough of these! I had to order another pair in black!

Loved the cute style. Heel cup did not hug my feet enough and I felt my heels slightly slipping out enough to bother my step. I am a 9.5 and the 9.5 fit good in toe area but I am a narrow-medium and this was too narrow for me. Returned.

Typically I wear an 8-8.5 in most shoes. However, the 7.5 in these fit perfect! Typically I can't wear sandals like this because my foot is too wide but wide fit perfectly. The heel height was perfect as well. I ended up returning these only because I no longer needed them for an upcoming event. The one down side to these for me was that the color. I'm very fair with pinkish undertones so the nude color was a bit too yellowy tan for my skin. If I purchased these again, I would get a different color.

Get the WIDE! I have an average foot width but the regular width was way too narrow. It looked horrible. I returned and ordered the wide. This has become my favorite shoe hands down! Great heel height, comfortable, and very classy looking!

I have somewhat wide feet and smallish/mild bunions. I've worn these to 3 weddings now, dancing and the whole bit, and was fine (pre and post bunion surgery!). The leather on the toe strap is soft and doesn't rub. The heels are high enough to be fancy but the block heel makes it stable and comfortable.

I love these. But let me tell you how I got here....I ordered 4 pairs. I typically wear an 8-8.5 in most shoes. Sometimes these strappy type shoes are too narror for the front of my foot and I was excited to order a WIDE! I also wasn't sure the black suede was dark enough black as the photo looked a bit light and I really wanted a dark black. So I ordered and 8W and 8.5W in both the leather and the suede- 4 pairs! They were all too big! I don't usually wear a wide shoe except in running shoes, but again, since sometimes they are too tight I did it. The 8's were both too wide and a bit too long actually. I didn't even try on the 8.5W's at all, no need. I could have probably handled the 8W leather if I was desperate, but its Zappos! This was thursday afternoon for a wedding on saturday. I quickly ordered the 8m suede and it arrived on Saturday about 30 mins before my departure. Gotta love zappos!!! My go too!! Well, the 8M was a million times better and I wore them! They were still probably a teeny tiny bit long, but the strap was perfect. I stood and walked in them for about 4 hours. By the end my feet hurt, however they didn't hurt until the end. They are actually really comfortable for this high of a heel and also beautiful! Thank you zappos for coming to the rescue!

Awesome shoes! Very sexy. Leather is soft and comfortable. Feels good on my feet but the medium could be a little wider. Over all I love them.

Was searching for a nude block or wedge heel for several summer weddings and these Odila’s were the winner. Comfortable, good heel height, and the scallop toe strap adds a cute detail (and didn’t cause any blistering on my toes). I’m usually a 9 and these fit true to size. I only wore them for a few hours at work one day before wearing them to a rehearsal dinner Friday and wedding Saturday - I was able to keep them on comfortably for 6 hours each night. (And I’m not someone who usually wears heels!) For reference I also tried the Neesa wedge by Sam Edelman in size 9 (comfortable, good fit, but I felt these were cuter); the Yaro heel by Sam Edelman size 9 (heel height was too high for me); the Leera espadrille by Vince Camuto size 9 (felt small to size and the wide toe strap was very uncomfortable); and the Oleana heel by Sam Edelman Circus (runner up but these were just a tad more comfortable across the toe strap).

I have wide feet and short toes, so finding a heeled sandal is a challenge. I needed a nude sandal for a spring wedding, and in my search I came across these, a couple other sam e. styles, the Nine West Pruce (whatever you may read in reviews on this shoe, it is not a true wide width), and a Macy’s brand with wide width dress shoes. Out of the box, these felt the best. The toe strap was snug but still comfy and the ankle strap soft and didn’t rub. Still, it’s difficult to tell how a heel will hold up to a night of dancing just by wearing them around the house. I am happy to report that these did not disappoint. I wore them the entire wedding, danced for hours in them and didn’t take them off until I went home for bed in the wee hours of the morning. 5 stars!
