Vogue Pointed Toe Slingback Pump

These shows were super comfortable and I loved wearing them for casual everyday! I purchased these last year in June, and in September one of the straps broke (I used a pin to DIY it back together), and in March the other strap broke as well. So sad but a lesson to invest in higher quality basics!

I'm so torn. I ordered this Vogue and the Alena, both from Steve Madden. I love both of them, but this shoe is so deep red, it leans into burgundy and actually clashes with true red. Going through my wardrobe, I determined I own more burgundy than true red and am keeping both, though they are very similar in style and appearance. I appreciate that this shoe has the buckle so I can adjust the strap, thus, I ordered my true size. With the Alena, I had to size down due to a non-adjustable strap. The last reviewer who found this shoe uncomfortable may not have appreciated the extreme pointy toe, but it doesn't bother me and the kitten heel is quite comfortable and well-placed for balance.
