Comfy but big
I really wanted to love these, but they weren't stable enough for my feet/ankles. Great arch support and cushioned footbed which made them so comfy. But I found the top straps to be loose, so my foot slid around quite a bit. These will definitely work if you're ankles aren't on the narrow side.

Comfy 4.5 Stars
These were so cute and comfortable! But they were slightly wide around the top so that it felt like my foot would slip out. I ended up returning them and looking something that fit a little more snugly. I think I might have narrow feet.

Bring back the brown leather!
This is my second pair of the Merlot sandal heel. I’ve walked all over various cities, traveled through airports, and stood through events in these shoes. They are my absolute favorite shoe and I’d buy them in every color if I could. My brown leather pair has seen some serious miles! Excited to add the gold pair to my collection.

Elegant and comfortable
I don’t wear a lot of high heeled shoes because I’m tall but I needed a pair for a formal dress that I have to wear and these fit the bill. I bought two colors with the intention of sending one back but I’m going to keep them both because they are so pretty.

Very Comfortable!
I was a guest at a wedding and I was nervous since I have not worn heels in a long time. However, these shoes were a dream and very comfortable all night. I highly recommend them!!

Almost perfect
Love that they are making attractive heels that prioritize comfort. If there were more padding in the foot pad they might just be perfect! I'd still pick these over other heels any day. Supported my arch and helped me to stand straight and put weight more on my heels than toes. Still had to remove them to keep dancing, though.
