I am a shoe addict and I love Christian Luboutin usually but they don't make very comfortable shoes but they are beautiful shoes. These Pradas are well-made, actually quite comfortable to wear and look gorgeous. They remind me of CL shoes but without the red soles. I got these in black patent. The height is not as bad to walk in but I don't think you could be walking this for more than 4-5 hours if you're not used to high heel shoes. Good shoes for office use or a night out. Also they do tend to run large. I am usually a 5 and I had to order this in a 4 1/2
