text: I needed something funky and fabulous for a late summer wedding and these are just the shoe. I have not worn them for any length of time YET - but will soon. What I can say is that they are most wonderfully sparkly, have a decent sole for a long day and are quite comfortable for a tall shoe. They do run a little large - I ended up buying a half size smaller than I normally would (thank you for the reviewers that gave that heads up!) - but knowing that ahead of time made all the difference. I was also pleasantly surprised by the shipping time as my experience with overseas shipping on Amazon to date has been less than stellar. These arrived on time and within a week. Great value for the price.
