'Angelina' Pump (Women)

Cute and comfortable! I like this shoe a lot, but I decided to go with the Cobb Hill "Denise" shoe instead, purely because a slip-on is quicker and easier for me than a buckle. I bought the shoe for work, and I frequently run late with the shoes being the last thing to go on before I leave the house. If I were to have a conversation with this shoe as to why I returned it, I would say, "It's me, not you."

PROS: Well-made; cute style; nice foot bed; good arch support CONS: Heel not stable; runs long; runs tight across the toe box I hated to return this shoe. It was feminine, very cute on, and would have gone with so many things. Unfortunately, it did not fit well. I have other Cobb Hill shoes with this heel style and height, and they fit fine. In this particular shoe, the heel is not stable. When I walked, I experienced instability and extra motion. I'm not sure if this is due to a defect in the pair that I received or if it's caused by the style of the shoe and the fact that the heel is somewhat in-set. If you have any ankle issues, you're going to feel that instability. My standard size is 7-1/2 M, which is what I ordered. This shoe runs long; narrow in the toe box; and true to size in the heel. The toe area is very tight. This may be due to the many overlays on toe area, which in addition to causing the tight feeling, would make it unlikely that the shoe would stretch easily. A Wide width would not work as the heel was already slipping somewhat; however, the slippage was likely due to the fact that this shoe runs a 1/2 size too long, so there was a gap in the back of my normal size.

I was looking for something I could wear for a campus interview that would work well with a suit, but also be comfortable to walk around in Wisconsin in the winter and these seems like they'll work perfectly! The low heel and padded insole make them really comfortable, and the t-strap keeps them in place. The leather is also really soft, which makes them nice from day one. My only caveat would be that if you have wider feet, you might want to consider the wide width option. I wanted the almond color, which wasn't available in wide in my size so I decided to take a chance on the medium width. They work, but I think the wide would have been better and is probably what I would buy in the future if I got another pair (or something similar from Rockport).
