Purchased on August 2022; reviewed on February 2023. T TLDR: I loved the concept behind the brand - comfortable heels that provide support and style. Post-pandemic (and post-children)​,​ my beloved 4" stilettos that served me so well in my 20s heyday are now part of my closet decor. This was a brand that I really wanted to get behind but unfortunately the execution was a let-down. FIT: I normally wear between a size 7.5 and 8. The brand has a very detailed size chart with every conceivable width and size down to the millimeter. I sized up to 8 thinking it would be more comfortable. The shoes were fairly easy to break in with limited blisters and pain. However​,​ after a few months​,​ the leather eventually stretched out to the point where the heels will slip off fairly easily if I'm not careful. In retrospect​,​ I should've gotten the size 7.5 that could stretch out over time. I did find the arch support comfortable and supporting; alas​,​ this was counterbalanced by the poor sizing. QUALITY: Quality was disappointing. I purchased these shoes with the intention of wearing them solely in the office. Since most client meetings are still done by Zoom​,​ ~90% of the time​,​ the shoes were worn on carpeting while I was sitting at my desk. Nevertheless​,​ the leather broke down fast enough that I can't imagine what these shoes would look like if you ever wore them on New York streets. You can see in the images below the scuffing​,​ especially on the toe and the sides. For heels that cost $325 ($350 after tax)​,​ I was frankly shocked and disappointed at how quickly they broke down. STYLE: No qualms about style here. The classic style married with the neutral color was incredibly flattering and went with just about everything. They also made my legs look fabulously long.<abbr>​,​​,​​,​ ​/​abbr>
