Would purchase again
Bought these for my first bikini competition. They’re plain, but that was ok since I relied on my suit and jewelry for the pizzazz. These are good if you have normal-skinny feet, I wouldn’t recommend them for a wide foot. At first, my feet WOULD NOT fit in. I read the reviews stating to use the hair dryer trick. I skipped the hair dryer trick and just wore 2 socks and FORCED my foot in. Took a few wears before in started to budge. I would wear these daily with 2 pairs of socks to break them in into the perfect fit, and ditched the socks afterwards so they wouldn’t get too loose. It took a few posing sessions until they judged, but I didn’t mind because I prefer it to be snug and not have my toes dangling. I strut in these for 4 months until it was show day. The heel height (5”) can seem intimidating, and did feel really tall at first, but I definitely got used to them after a few wears. They worked great for show day, no twisting ankles or slips. These are great because my toes didn’t hang over the edges like most of other competitors seemed to have happening. Great for the price point! I’d definitely purchase again. They fit true to size (length- wise, just had to break-in to my desired snugness) (PS, I won in these lol)

Poor Quality
I had to return the heels as they appear different in person than online. Not only is the material a cheap quality but the heels are very uncomfortable and the size is not accurate. I ordered a size 7 and they fit extremely tight almost felt like a 6. Also, upon returning, I was charged a restocking fee equivalent to the amount of the shoe for no reason. Amazon was gracious enough to approve my A to Z claim and even refunded me back more for my time. If you are looking for a good quality shoe buy elsewhere.

The down low
I NEVER leave reviews because I've never had issues with products or feel the need to make something known... In this case where all the reviews are slightly conflicting I feel like I should.I normally wear a size 9.5 in athletic shoes AND heels. A size 10 is usually too big, and a size 9 is too small. I have medium width feet... probably closer on the width spectrum to a wide foot rather than narrow. In this case I bought a 10. My toes don't overhang and actually have about 3/4 of space between the tip to my toe. I'm sure a 9.5 would have been perfect if it existed.I was unsure when buying these shoes because this company seems to create a lot of other heels with very off shoe sizing, and even though this one seemed to have the best reviews with some people saying the size fit as expected, I was still wary. My heels arrived today and I quickly opened the box (which was in fine condition) and pulled them out. As soon as I put them on I noticed the tight and narrow front, but after you wiggle into them the vinyl gives a bit. After about 10 minutes of wearing them I noticed my baby toes feeling like the life was being sucked out of them. It's vinyl... what can you expect! But here's the tip no one seems to share... you can stretch out vinyl to actually being comfortable. Just grab your hairdryer and blow warm air on the tight strap for a few seconds until its soft and quickly place your foot in them. Keep them on for a minimum of 20mins while standing in them (so your weight is all in the ball of your foot keeping the vinyl stretched). Presto! Perfect competition shoes that are as comfortable as you're ever going to get!

After a quick couple minutes with the blow dryer I was able to comfortably fit into the shoes
I ordered these shoes to wear in my first bikini competition as they fit the regulations set forth by my class. I chose to go with the extra secure ankle strap style as I've heard too many stories about competitors slipping on stage. When I received the shoes and tried them on for the first time they were extremely snug but I found if you take a blow dryer and slightly warm up the plastic it stretches around your foot easier. After a quick couple minutes with the blow dryer I was able to comfortably fit into the shoes. I've spent hours in them practicing my posing and have not had any issues, blisters, soreness, etc. I do practice on a wooden floor and have yet to slip in these. One thing that I see as a negative to these shoes is that the inner soles of them are a very soft fabric which easily absorbs competition tan, dirt etc. Since so many competitors purchase these shoes it would almost be beneficial to use a dark fabric or different material so that it doesn't show so much. All in all, this is a very comfortable shoe that I wouldn't mind purchasing again.

The fitting was perfect. This is a replacement pair because It was ...
I bought the same make, style and size when I was in L.A for a fitness show. It was from a local vendor. The fitting was perfect. This is a replacement pair because It was time. Somehow, the front plastic part for this new pair is too small and too tight to fit. I can barely slip my toes in them. Wish the return window time wasn’t so short so I can exchange it for a bigger size or a different style. Shipping was expected as scheduled.

Comfortable!
I’m normally a 7.5 but bought an 8. They fit great! Either wear them around the house for a few hours to stretch them or put on a sock (Preferably a thick sock) and use a blow dryer for a few minutes to stretch them.

Great shoe!
Shoe runs small and narrow. Would of been perfect a size up. I returned the product only bc a size up would not have made it in time for the occasion needed. Other than that it was a great shoe. Nice quality for what I paid.

So beautiful and sexy....but ... My Feet Will take months to heal
These are probably one of the most sexiest pairs in most affordable pairs of high heels I have ever worn. I got so many compliments on them and I felt so confident while wearing them. This is the bad part...I literally have open wounds and welts all over my feet after wearing them for only two hours. I am in so much pain that now I’m taking pain medication. I had to soak my feet in water just to attempt to relieve the pain. However that wasn’t even enough. It was burning so bad. This is going to take months to heal. The shoes were my size and it still messed me up. Do not buy this product If you will be wearing them for more than one hour

Couldnt ask for more
Super comfortable and padded footbed. Grippy sole so you won't slip. Highly reccomend. Because they are plastic they are VERY tight, but a blowdryer and a bit of time on your feet and they stretch out well. Very happy with these.
