More than a bridesmaid shoe! Just go half a size up or buy Wides.
I think many brides-to-be are always concerned that they are forcing their girls to buy dresses and shoes that they will never wear again. Well, she need not worry for these puppies!I was lucky to have been with my friend when she saw this shoe in a store. The MOH and I both tried it on and agreed that the color was a lovely neutral (the color I remember was a slightly pinker than the picture shown here; just a hint of blush), the heel perfectly conservative, and the padding — ohhh, the padding! Let’s just say it was a real pleasure to slide these on, and I was very reluctant to take them off and return them to the display.Having just tried the shoe on and not being able to wear it until the Big Day (at least, not without promise of pain and death!), perhaps my 5-star review is a bit premature. I do wear my fair share of heels, though, and I know what to look for when shoe shopping. Here’s a run-down on what I encountered with this heel:Sizing: I wear exactly a 6.5, though due to size discrepancies amongst brands, this range encompasses sizes 6-7. Width-wise, I have slightly wide feet – not enough to necessitate purchasing shoes in Wide, but sometimes I will do so if I found the shoe runs small. The size I tried on was 6.5M (normal width) and it fit a smidge on the tighter side with regards to length and width. Most notable was a slight pinching in the toes. Since Wides only solve the width issue but not the length issue, I moved up half a size to a 7M. This got rid of the crowded toes, though now the length was a hair too large. As this is easily solved by padding with heel grips, I am OK with it.Color: The picture shown is very close to the actual color, though the color-savvy may notice that the picture is actually showing more of a cool nude rather than the “taupe glory” promised in the description. Be advised that the description is more accurate – this shoe is most definitely a taupe, with just a hint of more pinkish/purple in real life than shown in the photo (and when I say “a hint,” I am talking about a drop of water in a bathtub). As I said: the stock photo is close enough.Comfort: I’ll start by saying that I do not think any bandaids will be necessary for these! The back of your heel is safe; I did not notice any rubbing in that area as I walked around. Any blisters that may form would probably be on the ball of your foot, as is wont when wearing basically any shoe without socks on. As a disclaimer, I would like to point out that as comfortable as this pump is built to be, it is, in the end, a heel. Your feet will probably still be sore if you strut around in these for hours. It’s inevitable. Having said that, there is a good amount of cushioning, and the heel is low to the ground, which will help reduce the discomfort of wearing pumps. Let’s just say that I was originally going to bring some flats for the reception, but after these shoes were picked, I fully intend to keep them on all day.Durability: They feel like a sturdy shoe; very solidly built, yet also VERY light. I am a huge fan of light shoes. They make me feel nimble and graceful. These pumps are well constructed and will probably last miles and miles. The heel itself is low to the ground and a decent thickness. More importantly, the heel does not feel like it will snap off (I have had this happen to me and it is a terrible experience). The shoes do feel like they will be easily scuffed, due to both the light color and the nature of the material. Proper care and treatment will keep them looking new; just make sure to address any scuffs sooner when they are easier to remove.All in all, this pump is a good shoe to add to your arsenal. They are a steal at $30 – I have paid more for shoes that have only been worn once. I would, without hesitation, recommend this to friends who are looking for a decently priced heel for work, formal occasions, or even adding a little sophistication to day-to-day wear. They are a great, all-encompassing shoe. Just be sure to go up half a size.–update Dec 12, 2014–My friend’s wedding has come and gone, and I wore these shoes from start to finish. I think it was around hours 5-8 where I noticed that the balls of my feet were beginning to hurt. It never got to the point where I wanted to kick them off. In fact, these were on my feet from 11a til sometime after midnight–a full 13 hours! All of the bridesmaids sans one kept these on until they left, actually. The one who removed hers was 16 years old and had revealed this was the first time in her life she’d ever worn heels; she swapped hers out for flipflops when the dancing started (around hour 8).The aftermath, you ask? Happy to report that no blisters were formed while wearing these heels. The balls of my feet felt a little sore at the end of the night, as is wont when wearing heels for a prolonged period of time.

These are so pretty 😍
I went to probably 6 shoe stores looking for something to wear on my upcoming cruise for formal night. I work in healthcare so I haven’t worn heels in forever. I fell in love with lifestride. I typically wear a 9 wide in most shoes but wides are hard to find locally. I tried on some they had in store at shoe show and figured out I needed a 9.5 wide but they didn’t have any in stock so once again, Amazon to the rescue. I bought them early to break them in a bit so I don’t get blisters later. So far they are pretty comfy as far as heels go and size is perfect! I’ll update after I wear them all night.

Comfortable
I wore them to church with a black and white outfit. They felt very good, flexible with good traction. I would have liked for the heel to be a little bit higher. The color was rich and stylish. All in all, I like them.

Stylish, Comfortable and Affordable
I needed a nice heel in white to have ready for any occasion. I have trouble finding shoes to fit and this shoe is perfect. My normal size is a 9 N but in heels it seems I need to go up a half size. I did and the fit is great. A plus is they look like real leather. Wish I could have purchased the shoe in narrow but these will be fine. Now I need this heel in different colors!

Comfortable casual shoes
This is the second pair of these shoes that I have purchased. Great quality, comfortable cushiony soles in the shoe’s. Wonderful arch support. They are casual but, can also dress up any outfit. I’ve personally worn them for work in the past because they are also non-slip! Great even after 8+ hours of wearing.

Look great and sized right but toes too tight
I picked up a half-size bigger than usual due to the reviews, and these fit, in general, very well. The are comfortably constructed, easy to walk in, and look great. Unfortunately, the outside of the toes is cut tight and scrunched the last two toes terribly. I do have very normal feet and toes. I was disappointed because, otherwise, these would have been great.

A beautiful buy for the price!
This is the third time I have purchased this shoe, I have it in three different colors. It is very comfortable and is one of the few pairs of dressy shoes that I can wear for a long period of time. I like this color in particular because it has a slight shimmer to it! Very pleased to find it available and why width also.

So SPARKLY! Runs Small.
Wow! These are much more glittery than I was expecting. Perfect for when you want a fancy shoe option with a practical heel height.I usually wear a 7.5 and ordered size 8, knowing they run small. They’re STILL kind of narrow & tight, so I would advise sizing up and/or trying a Wide width for comfort.

I am quite difficult on heels comfort, and those are really pretty AND comfortable. Ordered a size 9 and they fit perfectly, which is normal size. Highly recommend!
