Chinese Laundry Women's New Love Pump

I had to buy nude heels for a wedding I was a bridesmaid in. I needed something convenient, comfortable, and cute. These heels satisfied all three of my criteria.It was highly convenient to buy online because the shoes came well before the wedding, and I was too busy to shoe shop person. Amazon Prime included free shipping and a free return. This was important since it was my first time buying shoes online. Fortunately, I didn’t have to use the free return because the size fit perfectly. $29.99 is a competitive price. If you have a budget, buy online and save money!The main reason I pay more money for shoes is my desire for comfort. I was scared they would be uncomfortable, since heels usually are. Since I'm not an experienced heel user, I couldn’t walk in them at first and experienced slight discomfort. Because they came so quickly, I was able to practice walking in them before the wedding. To my surprise, at the wedding I ended up dancing in them perfectly fine. All heels are uncomfortable to a certain degree, but these heels are not too bad once you break them in! After an hour of dancing I forgot I was wearing heels. An added bonus was getting to dance in heels with my boyfriend, who is much taller than me.It is a perpetual dilemma for women to find shoes that balance comfort with cuteness. These heels are both cute in the picture and in person. I received many compliments on these heels, even more than the other bridesmaids and their heels. The shiny finish and cute shape make these heels stand out like designer shoes.If you need nude heels, I recommend buying these for their balance between comfort, cuteness, and convenience.

Words cannot express how perfect this shoe is but I'll try...- the style: finally a classic pump without the trendy platform (no Minnie Mouse feet!)- the color: a "centered" nude, exactly as pictured (good for those who don't have very pale or very dark skin)- the heel height: high but not broken-arch, trip-and-fall high (you can still walk in them)*- the heel style: a graceful curve to right under the heel (not the give-you-cankles style that goes straight down from the back)- the toe box cut: just the right glimpse of toe cleavage (not so shallow that you feel a draft)- the comfort: nice padding for a non-platform pump (you don't feel the ground when you walk in them)I'm with the other people who think these run a tad small. I'm a perfect 10½ on shoe size, but they didn't come in a 10½ so I got an 11. I expected to need a heel or foot cushion to take up the extra space, but no, they fit perfectly. So I would order a half size up if you can.* I'm 5'10" and do NOT need a skycraping heel. All the platform pumps these days are 4½" high and send me teetering forward! These are great for those of us who still like to wear a decent heel but don't want to be 6'2"+.Bonus: My husband thinks these are pretty much the sexiest shoes he's ever seen.What a great purchase!

Price- ehhh could be less.Fit- I wear a 9 and for the most part they were okay. I probably should've gone half a size down as I suspect they'll become loose with time.Color- Wish the nude was a little less dark. In person it looks like a dark tan. I prefer the khaki type nudes to cream colored nudes.Overall I bought the shoes to go to my friend's college graduation (super proud of her) and they are comfy so far. I've worn them 3 three times and am hoping they won't kill me on the big day standing in USF's stadium. The best part of the shoe is the height. Not too tall and not too short. Oh and the heel isn't the ugly chunky kind you find in most shoes under 4". This is a buy I don't regret. :-)

I really thought these shoes were beautiful (both in color - 'nude' and style) but realized that I prefer a pointed toe vs. an almond toe. They were a bit uncomfortable where the upper toe bone meets the curve of the top of the front of the shoe, and I could see within minutes these would be painful. Being that they are man-made materials and not leather, I didn't want to take the chance that they would not stretch (nor did I want to be in agony to try). Overall, the shoe is a beautiful color and design, but I had to return since they didn't work for me. Had they been more comfortable, I definitely would have kept them.

I really like this shoe because of the color/style and height of the heel (not to tall or short) .. but the sizing is not accurate. It is a half size too small .. maybe even a whole size. I got a six and the top part of my feet was very tight once I slipped in my feet. My toes were scrunched up in the front and was touching the tip of the shoe. I was hoping it would stretch after wearing it a few times but it has not. I grin and bear it when I wear it but not comfortable at all. So buy a half/whole size bigger (put in inserts if too big). I rather a shoe be bigger than smaller. At least you can put inserts in to help the fit.

I'm happy enough with these heels, but they are not as comfy as other customers said they were. I bought them because they were one of the few black closed toe heels with a platform to get to 3inches, instead of just being straight up 3 inches. I find that without a platform, high heels are generally too high for me. I have tried to break in these heels a few times, but they still are a bit uncomfortable, and I have noticed I sometimes trip in them. Something about the angle of the footboot makes me put a lot of pressure on my toes instead of my heels, and this is very uncomfortable and precarious. Still, they got the job done for the one time I really needed them.

Haven't worn a very high heel in years, but loved the look of jeans and heels. So I decided since the price was right and liked the Chinese Laundry brand, I would buy this shoe. I was not disappointed. My husband said they looked great, and I was able to wear them all night without any pain. They are high, but comfortable. I had only one problem. I have long toes and the shoe tip area is small. Felt a little squeeze, but not painful. For me, I would not recommend this shoe for every day wear, but special occasion.
