text: Boyfriend bought these for me recently, to wear with suits (I picked them out, he's not cheap!).I got the black nubuck (faux suede). These are so gorgeous and a versatile look. These kept coming up when I searched kitten heels or 1940s style dress shoes. It's not really a kitten heel, as the heel itself is almost 3 inches. These do run a bit small. I'm usually a 9.5/10, I went with 10 for these. They fit fine but a 10.5 would be better for when my feet swell at the end of the day. These are comfortable enough for a commute to and from work and if you sit most of the day. I made the mistake of walking and standing in them all day today and my feet are very sore. The toe box is narrow and low, which is why they're constricting/uncomfortable at the end of the day. The shape of the front of the shoe makes it so you put most of your body weight on your toes. Walk or stand in these for an extended period of time only if you're an expert heel wearer or a ballerina. If you plan on using gel inserts or something, order at least a full size up. Even with these issues I give them 4 stars, as they really are stunning and sturdy for a cheap pair of shoes.
