The best but SIZE UP!!!
Size: 6.5, Color: Silver Leather
These are my new favorite heels I own. Soooo cute, survived being rained on at a beach wedding (and were surprisingly decent to walk on in the sand if you're confident in heels), and aren't too uncomfy even though I have super high arches. I'd advise people to size up though, esp if you have wide feet or high arches. I usually wear a 6-6.5 and had to switch out 6.5s for 7s (and if I didn't prefer a snug fit I probably could've even gone with 7.5s). Overall these shoes are so beautiful, versatile, and seem like they'll last long. A tiny bit slippy (and would recommend anti-chafe where the straps will land if you're blister-prone) but not a biggie

Never go out of style
Size: 8, Color: Silver Leather, Size: 8, Color: Silver Leather
Perfect silver tone shoe. It’s so comfortable because the heel isn’t so high. It’s versatile, you can style it up or chill. Highly recommend such a classic color to have

Larger and roomier, adore the fiery orange color
Schutz quality is top notch. I found this style to be larger & roomier than I'm use to. Easily dealt with for me with shoe pad inserts and making smaller holes in the band. I adore the color, I've wanted this exact shade of fiery orange forever. It's a gorgeous brilliant orange, with red shadows and golden highlights. I'm so excited to have finally found this color, and Schutz are always comfortable, sturdy, beautiful, and made well.
