OMDG!!! 4 u 2 know, they r s comfy s they r glam n chic n SUCH A SCENE-STEALER!!!! As someone who did enjoy a few stage performances or two, believe me these will be the shoes to dance in if you are a performer. Great for walking...so comfy as the soles are ITALIAN soles which really are the only kind of shoes my high-arch will feel right at home. The lace does show wear but honestly, the illuminating effect of this beauty will always render her so sparkling. Pls INITIATE offer.
