non-slip cushioned rubber bottom; no clicking sound
I purchased these shoes for my daughter to complement her Flapper costume, which she wore to a college theme party. Her main requirements were that the shoes matched the dress in color, provided comfort, were stylish, and suitable for dancing.The shoes have a sparkly look without the mess of glitter. The black area surrounding the toe features a textured, shimmering material, while the t-strap, ankle strap, and heel are finished in gold patent leather. An adjustable buckle at the ankle allows for a customized fit. This buckle is of a unique design, which was unfamiliar to me at first.Initially, I was unsure about the security and practicality of the buckle after a visual inspection. To achieve the right fit, I recommend performing a dry fit first by selecting the appropriate hole for the buckle to ensure comfort. Once the hole is chosen and the buckle placed, the hook can be attached to the strap next to your selected hole. Although the fastener may seem unreliable at first glance, once the fit is adjusted and the hook is attached, the resistance provided by the ankle gives confidence in the buckle's functionality.The shoes feature a 2-inch heel, which adds a bit of height without requiring excessive caution during quick movements. The entire bottom, including the heel, is made from a cushioned-rubber, non-slip material, ensuring both safety and comfort. Each step is comfortable, and the shoes do not produce the typical clicking sound often associated with similar heels. My daughter wore them for five hours at the event and did not experience any discomfort. However, her feet are young and not prone to aches. The sizing is true -to-size and fit as expected. I ordered a size 7mThese shoes successfully met all of my daughter's requirements, delivering both the quality and performance that I anticipated, especially considering the price point. Their stylish design ensures they are a fashionable addition to her current shoe collection, complementing her wardrobe while providing comfort and versatility for various occasions.
