Pura Slingback Pointed Toe Kitten Heel Pump

Multiple ankle injuries over time plus wide, high volume feet have left me unable to wear high heels and with very difficult to fit feet. Needed some black shoes for a semiformal event and these tick all the boxes! Dressier than a flat with an interesting kitten-height heel that's not high enough to trigger ankle pain; I was concerned that due to the heel placement they might not feel very stable but have not found this to be the case. Would have loved a silver buckle instead of gold but that's just personal preference and a very minor quibble. These will be very versatile and will be able to be dressed up or down; I expect they'll get a fair amount of rotation in my wardrobe.

First time I've needed to write a review for a Nordstrom shoe purchase. I've always had great luck with traditional pointed shoes. The shoes started out comfortable but within the hour my toes were screaming! The base is padded, the leather lined. I don't know why or what led to the pain but I now have open blisters. And I wore these with tights. It's a waste of $135.
