Let me start by saying these heels are STUNNING. The chunky block heel gives me life—stable enough to strut confidently, yet high enough to make my legs look miles long. The ankle strap? Chef’s kiss. It keeps them secure without cutting off circulation (unlike some other torture devices masquerading as shoes).

First wear: a rooftop brunch. The open toe kept my feet breezy, and the cushioned insole had me forgetting I was wearing 3.5-inch heels... for about two hours. Then reality hit. By hour three, my pinky toe staged a mutiny. Pro tip: Pack bandaids or size up—these run snug.

The color (I got the neutral suede) is richer in person—like expensive caramel. They pair perfectly with everything from jeans to midi dresses. But heads up: The peach undertone might clash with certain outfits, so check your wardrobe palette.

Durability’s a mixed bag. After three wears, the soles started scuffing like they’ve got a death wish. Not ideal for city sidewalks, but they’ll survive carpeted events. Worth it? For $40 and this much style—absolutely. Just don’t plan on hiking in them.
