Mali Pointed Toe Heeled Pump (Women)

I absolutely loved these shoes online. As I have an older & similar Franco Sarto heel to this one-I was confident they would be fantastic; however, the “adjustable closure” is Velcro and the two shoes were not identical in that the front of the shoe on the left was larger than the one on the left (which fit perfectly!). All in all, lower quality that my previous pair & just absolutely NO on the Velcro ankle strap closures. These are immediately less sexy with Velcro. I returned them sadly.

I am a single mom of three so I don’t buy things for myself that often. I had waited for the right time to wear these beautiful shoes- a holiday party. Look: Great! True to picture and very flattering. Fit: true to size and perfect size heel (I’m 5’ 11” w/o heels) make sure to break in the back heel prior to wearing or it may dig into the ankle. Craftsmanship: Velcro ankle strap made it easy to manage, but didn’t feel “Franco Sarto” elegant. Too functional. BUT the material is trash! It was a bit slippery on my way into the party and I tripped, ever so slightly, on a step walking to the door. I scraped the shoe gently and it tore the entire out edge of the left shoe and the tip of the right one turning the material two different colors. I can’t ever wear these shoes again. Do not purchase unless you are Misty Copeland.
