Customer Reviews Nine West Pruce Block Heel Sandal

The color was off from the image shown; it definitely was more a pinkish hue than what’s pictured. I also am pretty consistently spot on an 8.5w and the fit was just a little wonky. Not as wide I’d say as a wife would be but also slightly too long. Overall, just not what I was hoping for and will be returning.

I ordered 8m in the tan. it was too narrow. when I ordered 8w they were going to send me black. I don’t need black. now they are suppose to refund me the 84.00 and put me on a waiting list for 8w in tan

I have several pairs of the Nine West Pruce sandals; I love them and can wear them for long periods of time, even dancing doesn't bother my feet. I do wear 1/2 size larger due to needing more length. Unfotunately I found that the black leather ran wider than the other colors (my others are suede or cloth); unfortunately I will have to return the leather pair. Wish they would come out with black suede. :-)

Felt wobbly on my feet. May be a problem with me, vs the shoe, as I don't usually wear heels with no support on the front of the ankle and arch area.

I loved the look of them but I had to return this pair because they were not wide enough. The length was perfect.

I have slightly wide feet and these just didn't work for me. My big toe hung over the front left side and the middle of my foot hung over the side. Not enough support for me.

Odd fit overall for me. I ordered a 9-Wide based on comments about the toe strap being too tight (though I’ve never been a wide) and the length was fine, but toe strap was too loose and seemed to be too far forward on the toes vs. nearer the ball of the foot, so it didn’t hold the shoe in place as expected. Also, for a wide shoe, the footbed in the middle of the shoe was very narrow and my foot hung outside the shoe on both sides. Granted, my feet aren’t long and thin, but I’ve never noticed this with other shoes. The ankle strap was all that kept the shoe in place and it otherwise jiggled loosely from side to side if you moved your foot. That’s hard to explain, but I think the toe strap placement was contributing to a bad fit overall. Toe-strap sandals without any back are still designed to stay on your foot. There was too much reliance here on the ankle strap that then had to be overly tight to keep the shoe on. I can’t speak to general comfort since I’m returning them, and I’m choosing Not Applicable on width category since I can’t tell if they’re too wide (toe area) or too narrow (footbed).

Uncomfortable do to weird front strap placement, unattractive due to poor lines….and therefore unacceptable and going back. It also took days to arrive…very disappointing experience from Zappos

No

I own the version of these heels from about five years ago and have absolutely worn them to death, so I was really excited to see these on sale and snapped up with the black and nude. First of all, I noticed right away that the band across the toes is significantly thinner and the ankle strap secures with a buckle and not Velcro, as the previous version did. This makes the shoe significantly less comfortable around the ankle. The toe strap is also quite a bit tighter. But the real dealbreaker was the smell. There is no way these shoes can be real leather and smell as foul as they do. I worked from home the day these shoes arrived. I got a horrible headache from the smell (the boxes were in another room, but it was such a strong odor and permeated the house). Really disappointed and will be finding a replacement from another brand.

The 'toe area' was WIDE but the arch was ridiculously narrow! My feet were bulging out the sides! Make a wide shoe entirely wide - not just the toe area!

Very uncomfortable around the ankle

Stylish and fairly comfortable

Normally wear a 9.5 - had to size up half a size

I love these shoes! I bought them years ago and am finally just needing to get a new pair. I have average width feet and I don't find them too narrow. Hands down my most comfortable pair of heels. I have them in black and nude.

the fit felt true to size…very comfortable…

The most comfortable heels I own. I now have them in like 6 colors

True to size, ankle straps hit me at a comfortable place, and the wide width accommodated my bunions without accentuating them. Pretty comfy shoes as far as heels go!

I absolutely love these shoes, but unfortunately they were out of my size.

Comfortable as far as heels go. I like the simple look. It works very well with many outfits.

Great shoes, the color is really pretty in person. Wore them to a wedding and was relatively comfortable considering the fact that I don’t normally wear heels. Would recommend.

Super comfortable and cute!

I really love the look of this sandal! It's dressy without being too flashy, so it's ideal for casual wear with cropped pants while also working with a dress. I was initially worried that the top portion at the back of the heel was going to be uncomfortable but after wearing the sandals around my apartment for 15-20 minutes, I didn't have any issues. For me, these were comfortable right out of the box but we'll see how my feet feel after 6 hours of wear at a wedding. My feet are medium width and the front strap across my toes feels roomy enough; if your feet are a bit wide, ordering the wide size is probably better. The ankle strap has a short length of elastic that allows that strap to stretch as needed so it won't dig into the front of your leg. The heel height is great and I'm hoping the wider heel will work for the outdoor wedding I'm going to wear these to. Overall, I'm very happy I decided on this style!

Very simple and sophisticated. It’s true to size and the color is a perfect neutral.

I ordered these for my daughter who normally wears a size 7. In these, she settled on a size 6. The shoes are a nice classic style and the block heel makes them better for walking and varied surfaces.
