LifeStride Women's, Parigi Pump

Love how they feel, but kinda big on me, I bought a size 9 because I have wide feet and I should have went with my regular size of an 8 and a half. I bought some heel grips to help with that. Other than that, they look great and I’ll definitely buy some more in different colors.

I think many brides-to-be are always concerned that they are forcing their girls to buy dresses and shoes that they will never wear again. Well, she need not worry for these puppies!I was lucky to have been with my friend when she saw this shoe in a store. The MOH and I both tried it on and agreed that the color was a lovely neutral (the color I remember was a slightly pinker than the picture shown here; just a hint of blush), the heel perfectly conservative, and the padding -- ohhh, the padding! Let's just say it was a real pleasure to slide these on, and I was very reluctant to take them off and return them to the display.Having just tried the shoe on and not being able to wear it until the Big Day (at least, not without promise of pain and death!), perhaps my 5-star review is a bit premature. I do wear my fair share of heels, though, and I know what to look for when shoe shopping. Here's a run-down on what I encountered with this heel:Sizing: I wear exactly a 6.5, though due to size discrepancies amongst brands, this range encompasses sizes 6-7. Width-wise, I have slightly wide feet - not enough to necessitate purchasing shoes in Wide, but sometimes I will do so if I found the shoe runs small. The size I tried on was 6.5M (normal width) and it fit a smidge on the tighter side with regards to length and width. Most notable was a slight pinching in the toes. Since Wides only solve the width issue but not the length issue, I moved up half a size to a 7M. This got rid of the crowded toes, though now the length was a hair too large. As this is easily solved by padding with heel grips, I am OK with it.Color: The picture shown is very close to the actual color, though the color-savvy may notice that the picture is actually showing more of a cool nude rather than the "taupe glory" promised in the description. Be advised that the description is more accurate - this shoe is most definitely a taupe, with just a hint of more pinkish/purple in real life than shown in the photo (and when I say "a hint," I am talking about a drop of water in a bathtub). As I said: the stock photo is close enough.Comfort: I'll start by saying that I do not think any bandaids will be necessary for these! The back of your heel is safe; I did not notice any rubbing in that area as I walked around. Any blisters that may form would probably be on the ball of your foot, as is wont when wearing basically any shoe without socks on. As a disclaimer, I would like to point out that as comfortable as this pump is built to be, it is, in the end, a heel. Your feet will probably still be sore if you strut around in these for hours. It's inevitable. Having said that, there is a good amount of cushioning, and the heel is low to the ground, which will help reduce the discomfort of wearing pumps. Let's just say that I was originally going to bring some flats for the reception, but after these shoes were picked, I fully intend to keep them on all day.Durability: They feel like a sturdy shoe; very solidly built, yet also VERY light. I am a huge fan of light shoes. They make me feel nimble and graceful. These pumps are well constructed and will probably last miles and miles. The heel itself is low to the ground and a decent thickness. More importantly, the heel does not feel like it will snap off (I have had this happen to me and it is a terrible experience). The shoes do feel like they will be easily scuffed, due to both the light color and the nature of the material. Proper care and treatment will keep them looking new; just make sure to address any scuffs sooner when they are easier to remove.All in all, this pump is a good shoe to add to your arsenal. They are a steal at $30 - I have paid more for shoes that have only been worn once. I would, without hesitation, recommend this to friends who are looking for a decently priced heel for work, formal occasions, or even adding a little sophistication to day-to-day wear. They are a great, all-encompassing shoe. Just be sure to go up half a size.--update Dec 12, 2014--My friend's wedding has come and gone, and I wore these shoes from start to finish. I think it was around hours 5-8 where I noticed that the balls of my feet were beginning to hurt. It never got to the point where I wanted to kick them off. In fact, these were on my feet from 11a til sometime after midnight--a full 13 hours! All of the bridesmaids sans one kept these on until they left, actually. The one who removed hers was 16 years old and had revealed this was the first time in her life she'd ever worn heels; she swapped hers out for flipflops when the dancing started (around hour 8).The aftermath, you ask? Happy to report that no blisters were formed while wearing these heels. The balls of my feet felt a little sore at the end of the night, as is wont when wearing heels for a prolonged period of time.

I have been buying this shoe in different colors for the past five years. They are super comfy and hold up very well. They are stylish and come in a ton of colors. My favorite is the Patent Black but the Black leather is nice as well. You can dress them up or down and go from work to dinner with them. I wear them 10 hours a day and my feet are not squeezed, blistered or swollen after wearing them all day. Great quality and look for the price, I usually by 2 at a time and they are true to fit. They have a medium width heeI for better stability. will continue to buy them for as long as they are available.

I have another color of these shoes that I purchased from a shoe store so I got the same size and apparently the black ones fit a little bit tighter 👍🏼

I have to return these shoes because they are just a taaaad snug, even though I ordered the wide.However, they are just the cutest shoes. What a lovely color! It matched my dress so I was very unhappy not to be able to wear them. Darn. If they had fit, I would 100% have kept them.

I normally wear a 6 but 6.5 wide fit better. Needed a comfortable dressy shoe for special occasions. Low heel, looks good, doesn't crowd toes.**Try them on immediately. I was sent 2 left shoes..... No issue with returning and replacement though.

These shoes fit perfectly! They are comfortable and stylish as well and the heel height is perfect for me. I’ve ordered two additional pairs of cousin different colors. I normally wear an 8&1/2 size shoe but I ordered these in size 8 Wide.

I got a 6 wide, which would typically fit. These shoes are tight in the toe box. The right shoe feels especially tight while the left shoe slips off the back of my heel. I guess I can stand them for a Sunday morning, but they'll be shoes I can't wait to kick off.On the other hand, the pink is lovely.

Tienen el soporte Perfecto

Los compre para mi esposa, la vdd le gustaron mucho, están cómodos, dentro tiene una zona con espuma (en una imagen lo señalo) que hace que por dentro este más suave, no sé como explicarlo en la parte de afuera porque esta suave como si fueran de piel como los Flexi pero a la vez esta rígido (como si fuera una capa de piel la de arriba).Pongo "Pero..". por que la imagen de la publicación vienen con un botón y el que llegó no viene con el, la vdd es muy exigente pero con respecto al zapato es de buena calidad (se ve y cuando lo probó mi esposa), por eso le pongo las 5 estrellas

Color perfecto igual a la foto muy cómodos vienen amplios

They are nice looking comfortable shoes.

Best high heel ever! Comfortable for and great style from day 1!
