Classic, well made, quality materials.
These are so sleek and stylish, offering a lot of versatility as they can be worn with jeans, dress slacks, skirts or dresses.The quality of the material is very good and the shoes themselves are well made, typical of this brand. One of the things I really liked about these is the material is on the thicker side, giving them a longer life if cared for properly.The heels are about 3.5 inches high and definitely unique, from the back of the shoe the heel resembles an hour glass figure. They are sturdy as well, not once, while walking in them, did I feel as if my heel was not supported nor did they feel wobbly.The overall fit of the shoe was exact to my size and decently comfortable, I say that due to them being brand new and a little tight around the side of my feet but no so much they lose comfort. The inside of the shoes do have padding which is noticeable when wearing, which is a huge plus and adds to the comfort of the shoes themselves. The straps were easy to close, offered enough length to accommodate thicker ankles and can easily be adjusted if necessary. The bottom of the shoes also offwr a non-slip rubber that keeps you from sliding on surfaces.Overall, these are very well made, comfortable to walk in and classic, I am completely happy them and cannot wait to show them off.

Perfect Points for Wider Feet
These DKNY Women’s Carmyn Pointed Toe Dress Heels with Ankle Strap are beautifully made and genuinely impressive in terms of construction and comfort. The materials feel sturdy and high quality, with a solid heel that feels balanced and secure, not flimsy or unstable like many dress pumps.What really stands out is how well these work for people with wide feet. The pointed toe is thoughtfully designed so it looks sleek without pinching, and the ankle strap adds both support and confidence while walking. I did not experience the usual pressure across the ball of the foot, which is rare for a shoe this elegant.They are polished enough for formal events and professional wear, but comfortable enough to stay in for hours. A rare combination of style, structure, and inclusivity in fit. Highly recommend if you want a refined heel that does not sacrifice comfort, especially if you usually struggle with narrow dress shoes

Beautiful black heels: classic style, quality construction
These DKNY dress heels are styled with pointed toes and ankle straps. The heel adds 3.5" in height and has a pretty metallic detail where the heel stem meets the shoe. The sole has a rubberized panel for added traction. I ordered my usual size 10, and the shoes fit as expected. My feet often require that I add an arch insert when I wear higher heels; that may be the case here. These shoes feel solidly constructed and provide support, so I'll wear them around the house a bit first and see.These are beautiful dress shoes. They are a true "high heel", not a kitten heel. These heels look great with long or short dresses, slacks, or jeans. They are truly versatile. They feel pretty. They have a stable heel and non-skid sole, both helpful for walking steadily in tall heels. I'm glad to have these.

Comfort details but not genuine leather
These heels are fabulous with impeccable details that you don't often find in a less expensive heel. Are they worth $150? I don't know. You be the judge. For me, they were not, but only because they have a 4" heel height, and I don't do tall heels. I was disappointed that I could not find the heel height anywhere in the listing. So, I've measured it! 4". These puppies are tall! Only buy if you know that you like tall heels. I can't walk in them. I feel disabled. It's sad, because quality-wise, these are excellent!As far as walking in a tall heel, it helps that there is a strap around the ankle to keep your foot firmly in place. It was difficult to unbuckle the first time, due to the taught new material. But it loosened up a little with just a couple times buckling these.The insole has some cushion - and more arch support cushion than I have ever seen in a heel! For most people, that will be wonderful! For me, my arches are so high that the cushion still did not reach my natural arch to support it. But, the extra cushioning definitely adds to the quality.Another quality feature is the rubber ball of foot sole. It's rubber with ridges for extra grip. I have never seen that on a heel, and that is a wonderful feature! How many of us are out there scraping up our heel soles on the sidewalk to make them a little grippy?! Well, these already come with grippy soles. Wonderful!The patent "leather" is not leather. It is vegan leather. That is great for those of us who do not want to sacrifice animals for fashion. But, the listing states leather, and in person, the box does not specify, but you can see that they are not genuine leather. I am taking off one star for the listing material discrepancy.The punched hole details in the leather, really give a vintage 40's vibe with a saddle shoe style. Love it!Size-wise, I am usually a 6.5 in a dress shoe, which is what I ordered. With these, my narrow foot slid into the pointed toe, so I had extra room, and probably could have done the 6. If you have a wide toe box, I wouldn't suggest sizing down because that will put your toes more into the pointed area and squish them! For me, my foot is already narrow, so I'd rather have the heel fit tightly. I'd say these fit pretty true to size, except that the pointed area leaves a little extra space in front for narrow feet to slide into.Overall, the comfort details on these shoes are wonderful! The style screams vintage. The heel is 4", and in my opinion, these are too pricey considering the material is not genuine leather.

Beautiful, high-quality, classy black heels!
The DKNY “Carmyn” Pointed Toe Dress Heel with Ankle Strap are so beautiful! The brogue perforations and shiny silver logo bar at the pointed toe are really amazing, and the 3.5” lofty heel is a work of art on its own. I really like the shiny silver detail at the top of the heel, (where the heel meets the shoe), it’s this attention to detail that elevates these heels from nice to outstanding. They are also incredibly comfortable and easy to wear, I feel like the sturdy heel and pointed toe box create a good balance so you’re not expending extra energy just to walk forward.This is a high-quality, classy pair of black heels that will be one of my favorites for a long time. An absolutely fantastic value, believe me, you are going to find yourself smiling at these heels- Yes, they are that great!
