I’m sorry but I hate these :)
Would make me think I had something stuck to the front of my shoes. Plus, I am so tired of patent leather I am even tired of complaining about everything being patent leather. Good heads up on the brand though — I will have to keep an eye out for this one — can’t have too many comfy heels.

Happy belated Halloween to you too, Cat.!
(sorry, but these are not doing it for me)
Well, I’ll be the dissenter: I like these. But I am somewhat inclined toward the sassy, even in work-wear.
Me too, and me too…and I have a great navy patent Mulberry purse that these would look very cute with, particularly with a charcoal grey….
Cute <3
I like them too! Heel doesn’t look too painful – never a bad thing indeed.
I just wore very dated Enzo Agnolini navy pumps to court this morning, because they are the only shoes I own that coordinate at all with my navy skirt suit. I think I’m going to buy these in navy to replace the 10-year-old square toe pumps. Thanks, Kat.
I like them too.
I like these although I tried this brand in a killer pair of boots I found at zappos or 6pm and found they were incredibly uncomfortable so I sent them back. However, if I were in the market for yet another pair of black shoes I might consider this one.
I like them, though I can’t really see myself wearing them. I would appreciate them on someone else, though.
I think they are cute. My roommate in college had a pair of Louis Santella pumps that I wore to the campus open house and at least 3 women all wanted to know where I got them. I don’t know if I could wear these to work, because I think the men would think I was not dressing conservative enough.
I don’t understand why so many women feel the need to dress conservatively. Professional does not have to be boring. These shoes have closed toes and a fairly short heel and in my opinion they can be worn in any workplace.
conservative does not have to be boring, either.
I forgot to say that I just love the brown Donna Delman pumps at Zappos.com, they really show off my legs, so the guys just love me in them. The only problem is that I look so small when I take them off so I don’t stay standing up for long.
Take a look, tho they cost more than $200. Not sure that’s so cool these days, with the resession and all.

I have this shoe but in an open toe version and in red. And I work them to work when I worked in small market Big Law (if that really even exists). I LOVE them. I get tons of compliments on them. I love this version too. But I am on a spending ban. Ugh.
Off topic: just received this sweater yesterday and it is gorgeous in person! Fits beautifully and it has a gold thread woven in that it’s visible in the picture. http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=502205&CategoryID=25517
Kat, would it be possible to make the websites open in another window? I don’t know how hard that is to do, but it would make it a lot easier to look at things people post if I could click back and forth between two windows more easily.
I used to have this problem — just write click the link and select the option “open in new tab” or “open in new window” — problem solved!
CUTE sweater — could not pull it off with my hips, though.
I also love the heels . . . I may purchase.
If your mouse has a scroll wheel, then click on the link with the scroll wheel and it should automatically open in a new window or tab, depending on your settings.
Nice! Thanks so much for the help! I’m thrilled.
Nice sweater!
Awful shoes!
Wow, I love these heels! Unsurprising though because I have a (somewhat) similar pair — albeit one with a thicker heel. If people are interested in heels with somewhat of a ruffle but less so than these, try the Bella Vita Talent.
They come in a AAA width?!? OMG. Shoes almost never do that, and I have a bunch of styles (including…any pumps at all) that I can only wear in a AAA. Which almost no one makes. So I am rapturously happy when your shoe recommendations come in a range of widths. Were I not so unemployed I would’ve bought at least one color of these within seconds…
