Promising Review: "I have three pairs of Frye boots, including these, and these are by far the most comfortable! The foot bed is the softest. The sole looks like leather from the side but actually has grippy lugs. I didn't have any issues with using the zipper right away — easy on, easy off. The two buckles are both adjustable, but I haven't needed to adjust them. These are perfect right out of the box, and the dark brown color is gorgeous and goes with everything." —Utahn

Promising Review: "The Nudist is a beautiful shoe, made perfectly! I wear heels day-to-day for work and purchased these for a special occasion. I was pleasantly surprised after the first wear, at the end of the night no blisters or sore feet. High-quality shoes and a great value!" —Katie OBrien

Promising Review: "The shiny cap toe adds a little zip, and the peekaboo heart makes everyone smile. These seem to have more arch support than the Converse Jack Purcell models, which is great for me. Can comfortably walk in these without my feet feeling beat up." —Jacquelyn A

Promising Review: "I am a big flats buyer. These shoes are buttery soft on the inside and totally cute! I can feel the difference from other flats. I normally wear an 8/8.5 and based on reviews I bought the 8.5, they fit perfectly." —Sunnie1

Promising Review: "These will stretch to fit your foot, like a ballet shoe. I have been wearing a size 41 (up one size due to the pointy toe) around the house for an hour a day and expect them to be perfectly molded to my 9.5 size foot by the time I reach Paris next month!" —Susan L from Seattle

Promising Review: "I'm in love with these. They just arrived today. I was concerned these might be too tall for my 5'4" 130 pound self, but they are perfect! The measurements here state 26" from the heel, but mine are 24" (closer to 23" when wearing them). If they were 26", they'd be more like a full-leg boot rather than an over-the-knee boot on me! Instead they hit a couple inches above the knee, just like in all the pics I've seen on blogs. They tie in the back. Also, I found them to be true to size for a boot. I wear a 7 in sandals or shoes with no back and a 7.5 in everything else. These are a 7.5 and they fit right, without socks. Anything more than a very thin sock or tights would make these tight on me." —Emily C

Promising Review: "Love them! Well-made, comfortable, and cute. Runs about half to a full size larger than my normal size. I had ordered a half size down and it was still roomy so I put an insole inside so I could wear them without socks and take up a little bit of the space. It actually worked out perfectly because I wan't planning on wearing them with socks anyway!" —Denise Anderman

Promising Review: "Absolutely love these flats!!!! Bought the 'Kiss' version last December. I receive compliments every time I wear them! (Hint, buy a half size smaller than normal.) Can't wait to wear these velvet flats this fall!" —Yvonne C

Promising review: "Wanted a basic sandal heel and eyed these for a while. Decided to pull the trigger when I found them for a great price on Amazon. So happy with them! They are very tall and look wonderful on my legs. Haven't worn them out yet but I expect them to be like any other tall heel...probably be comfortable for just a couple of hours. I am normally an 8.5, that's what I bought, and they fit just as they should! Would highly recommend!" —sisi80

Promising Review: "I am a big Sam Edelman fan to begin with and these shoes are no exception. If you like a high heel then you will love these. Very comfortable and not too narrow like so many of the shoes these days seem to be. Decent arch support, (they are a 4" heel so your expectations need to be in line with that), and very fashionable now with the block heel craze. They are pretty yet simple. I bought the navy, which is like a two-toned denim look and they match quite a bit." —KL

Promising Review: "I prefer my flats to be a half size larger so I have a little more room on the back. These shoes are like BUTTER! So comfortable and elegant. Wow!" —Jag from Texas
Get them at Zappos for $275. (Available in sizes 5-10 and in silver or taupe.)
Promising Review: "LOVE these boots. Can't wait to get another Rag & Bone pair, but in black this time. I am a true size 9, meaning nearly every pair of shoes I own are a 9. For this pair, I ordered a 39.5 and they fit like a glove. I wear a thin pair of socks and its a perfect fit. The lining, of course, is superior and makes walking around in heeled boots for hours supremely easy." —Jordan from Illinois

Promising Review: "LOVE these shoes. Wore them to a wedding this weekend and was able to wear them through pictures starting at noon all the way until 11 p.m. with a quality two to three hours of dancing at the end. I also received tons of compliments. The soles are leather so they're a touch slippery depending on your walking surface but other than that -- I cannot recommend these heels enough!" —Rhianna

Promising Review: "I wear a size 10 and am always looking for stylish flats that run narrow. I purchased the Whitney Weejuns in the black tumbled leather. I love them! They look great with jeans or pants. The leather is soft and the shoe is very comfortable. I've worn these to work every day this week, (I'm a college professor), and have had no problems with my feet. They do run narrow but for me that was perfect." —Anonymous
