I got these shoes for my wedding as did all of my bridesmaids - two of which had recently healed back fractures and the other with HORRIBLE feet and rheumatoid arthritis! And they STILL said they were comfortable! None of us wore them ahead of time to try to 'break them in' or anything. They are super cute, comfy, neutral but still fancy enough shoes for any formal event. They're tall enough to give everyone a little bit of added height but not so tall that it makes the tall chicks feel gigantic. They're also super friendly to walk in for those that don't feel steady in heels. I wore them ~almost~ all day and I didn't take them off until the very end of the evening and I'd been standing a LOT. I never got a blister or anything! People were shocked that they were only $30. These are a great, great option when you have a big group of girls to [attempt to] please!They were just a tad big, I usually wear an 8.5 and ended up exchanging them for an 8. So I would size down .5-1 sizes. Otherwise I would definitely recommend these and I'll be wearing them for other events in the future!
