THEY ARE COMFORTABLE AND SOFT
So people are saying these are slippery. I am under 150 lbs and I find that they are fine, I don't feel like I'm going to slip and fall. I think maybe if you are a larger person this may be more of an issue. I wanted to review for the white ones with the rhinestone bows since no one has yet. They are so cute! And I didn't get any of the poorly made stuff that some people posted about. They are soft on the inside, they don't rub anywhere, and the outside is like a soft cushy fabric. People aren't lying when they say these are comfy for the height. I've never worn heels this high that were so comfortable. I typically only wear heels to weddings, so like a couple times a year, but I'm also in my 30s. If you have knee or foot issues, these are probably pretty tall. But wow they are so comfy and smooth feeling, and the thick heel feels really stable. I have a pretty narrow foot, and small ankles, so the 7.5 fits length wise but is a bit loose on the ankle. I may try to sew the top part (above the bow) together in order to tighten it. If you have wide feet, these are NOT the shoe for you. As some said, the ends of the bows are not glued down so some of the underside shows, but with the white it's not that noticeable since the raw part is also white. If you know how to sew by hand, this is an easy fix. I got these for like $24 on sale so they were definitely worth it for me, but I would say the quality of materials is probably not worth the usual $40+ unless you NEED to have this specific design. Overall I love these shoes! I also put metatarsal gel cushions inside them to reduce pressure on the balls of my feet, but this would only be an option for you if you have narrower feet/some room left. I typically wear a size 8 in sneakers (Keds, Merrell, Brooks, OnCloud), but a 7.5 in sandals and heels (for more stability). My toes sort of slide forward and spill out a bit - I think this is due to the top part not being tight enough. I think this would also be an issue if you are a larger person but it is a minor issue for me and doesn't hinder me from wearing them. If you see the other reviews about poor quality, I assume that maybe the batches they make are inconsistent which is typical of cheaper items - you can exchange them though if this happens! The pair I got is super nice and I don't see any flaws in the construction. Looks just like the picture other than the bow ends coming up from being in the box. Get em!
