This classic silhouette is here to stay. Case closed, bring in the dancing lobsters.
Note: Some reviewers suggest ordering half a size up.
Promising review: "There is nothing bad to say about these heels. I can wear them all day and I have no pain and the heel is just the right height. I'm a big Dream Pairs shoe buyer and I bought these in red, black, white, and taupe. When other colors come back in my size I will be buying them too. If you can find them in your size I highly suggest buying them." —Sasha C

Promising review: "These are beautiful and unique sandals. I recently purchased my regular size 6 and they fit perfectly. These sandals are very comfortable and the leather in the front strap is very soft and wraps around your foot snuggly, yet comfortable enough to walk in. Nice summer sandal." —Latinachic60

Promising review: "I WALKED 8.3 MILES IN THESE HEELS AND HAVE NO REGRETS. I wore these for the very first time for Disneyland's Dapper Day and I was OVERWHELMINGLY surprised with how comfortable they were! I have never bought shoes on Amazon before and was worried that the fit and or quality would make me regret my purchase. But truly it was far from it. The heel is the perfect height to give you a lift and wide enough for you to feel secure! The strap when fitted snug around your ankle can be a bit irritating when it rubs so I loosened them. At the end of the day the balls of my feet were a bit sore but that's just the affects of Disney. But I'm happy to report that I have no blisters and I can't wait to wear them out again!" —cissyjworstell
