I wore these to a wedding and was on my feet for hours. These heels are some of the most comfortable I’ve worn, and would have been even more comfy if I hadn’t worn different heels the night before and gotten blisters. The only downside is the part of the shoe where your heel sits is peeling up a little, which isn’t great given the cost of the heels.

Really beautiful - true to size. I am normally a 9.5 Narrow US / 40 EU shoe size and that was spot on here. Foot bed is very comfortable. Where the straps cross in the back across the ankle is a little bit hard for me, I may put a little gel bumper on it so it doesn't rub, but my feet are very thin and lack cushion so this is a common problem for me. Overall I am very pleased. My second but certainly not my last purchase from Essen. Arrived fast too, I am in the US on the east coast and I received them the same week :)

I already own these heels in the light beige and LOVE them. I also own the Essen ballet flats. So many compliments and very comfortable. It can be hard to find a sophisticated sandal but with a supportive block heel. I’ve been eying off a second pair for a while that’s a bit more ‘flashy’. I’m equally happy with the silver pair. It’s a great shade of silver and really elevates an outfit. I think I’ll have to commit to a pair of Essen boots this winter now!

I wore these to a black tie event with a long gown….i was so happy that I did. I danced in them all night and was so happy to not be complaining to my husband about my feet! I am normally a US size 7 so they were slightly big but still very comfortable.
