I've been eyeing these shoes for quite some time now, and finally broke down and ordered them. They come boxed, with dust bags and extra stiletto pieces. My 4 star rating is for comfort only. The back of my heel was red from basic office wear and one after work errand. Maybe a gel heel insert would help? Overall they are great for casual and dress attire, but I do not recommend for wearing back-to-back days, a 2+ block city date night or if you have more than one errand. Enjoy :)Love love LOVE these shoes! I am not a heel wearing girl but these were just to cute to pass up. They are very comfy! I’m not great at heels and should have gotten a smaller heel but I will practice and make them work because I love them to much!I added pictures of what I was expecting (tone wise) and what the shoe actually looks like. I added a pic of a bright red shoe to provide reference against bright red. I also don’t like the texture of the suede, it looks like fine corduroy instead of the smooth softness of all of the other suede shoes I own (last pic).However, I’ll make them work with different outfits that are not maroon. They are super cute, comfy, and I get quite a few compliments on them.Purchased these shoes for my daughter to attend the orchestra. She loved them.Wore them for work and they did not hurt my feet at all. Got complements all dayThey are so cute but the color was brighter than I was expecting. Will still wear out!These shoes are super cute, but are slightly bigger than I anticipated.The pictures do no justice. These are gorgeous!!!! The pictures makes them look somewhat porous, so I thought it would be casual. They are sleek and quite appropriate for casual, business, and formal
