Let’s talk about these booties that made me forget I was wearing heels. The moment I slipped them on (thanks to the side zipper—no awkward hopping!), it was like stepping into memory foam slippers. My wide feet? Zero complaints. The toe box is roomy enough to wiggle, and the lace-ups adjust perfectly when my ankles swell after long days.

I wore these for a 10-hour office marathon, then straight to dinner. The 1.89" block heel kept me stable (no teetering!), but the real MVP was the faux suede upper—soft against my skin, no rubbing. Pro tip: If you need arch support like I do, swap the insoles (I stole the OrthoFeet hack from another reviewer). Game-changer!

The navy suede is richer in person—dark enough to pair with black jeans but vibrant with denim. I’ve gotten compliments every time I wear them, whether with leggings or a midi skirt. True to size for me (I’m a solid 8), but if you’re between sizes or love thick socks, consider sizing up.

Downside? The stock insoles might not cut it for high arches, but that’s an easy fix. For under $100? These are my go-to for fall through winter. Already eyeing the chocolate pair next!
