sexy but demanding

The good news: these are stunners, and I'm in love with them. The bad news: the toe box is very narrow and tight even though I sized up to a 9.5 and am of average foot width. (I'm usually a 9. The 10 was too big in the heel and too long.) The further good news: after asking my local Fluevologist to stretch the toe box across its widest point on three different occasions using their torture tool, the shoes are much more comfortable! They make me feel like a million bucks, and I love how they nod to the earlier version of the Listen Up heel (scalloped edge, flat heel tip). Just be warned that unless you're very narrow in the toe bridge, you may need the professionals to break them in for you. Don'tIt's worth it. Don't make your poor feet do the job!

Wanda, oh Wanda!

These shoes are undeniably smoking hot!

I felt comfortable enough in them to clown around the store, but I'm not sure I'd want to walk three or four blocks in them. It's not that they aren't stable - they feel fine - it's that I am afraid I would fall on my face!

Fit: I sized up a half size and can't imagine fitting my foot in the toe box of my normal size. Since they are leather, I imagine they'd stretch and be fairly comfortable.

Plus, surprise, surprise, I accidentally fastened one of the buckles to cross the straps instead of buckle them parallel and wonder of wonders, they were vastly more attractive on my ankle. Slimming and lengthening! Give it a try.

As you might imagine, these stayed at the store.

But maybe someday I will be brave and these shoes would be at the top of my list for learning to walk in high heels! :)
