Like butter!

These shoes are GORGEOUS! I am not a heel wearer and have trouble finding lady like shoes to fit my not so lady like size 10's. These babies fit like a glove and are extremely comfortable, I think it's the hidden platform. I have high hopes that I will get hours of wear on my wedding day out of these things. Plus, my fiancée said with a huge smile on his face "I can't wait to see you in these shoes on our wedding day." no doubt, these are THE shoes :)

Disappointed

I've been watching these shoes for months, deterred mostly by the price. I finally decided to make the purchase and was so disappointed when I received them. Apart from the fact that the shoes had been purchased before (and may have been worn) there were several construction issues: the heel caps were askew, there were snags in the satin, and places where the seams weren’t perfect. My biggest disappointment was the lackadaisical response I got from customer service. It took two days for them to reply and now 48 hours later I’m still waiting to hear back on whether or not they have my size at any other location!

Can I get these in blue?

Dear BHLDN,
I would do anything to get these gorgeous shoes in blue to match my sapphire earrings! Are they coming out anytime soon?
Thanks!

Never Loved A Shoe As Much As These

I purchased these for my wedding, as it was a fall wedding in Aspen with perfectly matching gold aspen leaves. They went well with my ivory casual dress, which I had my tailor make a tad bit shorter in front to really show off the shoes as I walked. Although the sling part of them made them flop on my heals sometimes, our dance coach taught me a trick to put rubber bands around mid-foot for our dance to keep them secure on my foot. They are very well made - great Italian quality.

Perfection!

Like a majority of reviewers and pics that I have seen, I decided to pair these with the Fondant Tea Dress (whoever styled that model for the pic REALLY knew what they were doing), and they are fantastic! They fit TTS, although the slingback allows a little give either way. I bought these for my Las Vegas wedding, and they are just the right combination of elegant and fun. They are the most expensive pair of shoes that I own (hard to think it took me months to break down and purchase a $200 pair of Frye boots and yet I bought these in a heartbeat) but I have absolutely no regrets.

Absolutely Gorgeous!

I am not the kind of woman whose heart ever skips a beat over shoes. I mean, I live in my Keds. But when I took these out of the box, I was immediately struck by that gorgeous gold. They fit true to size and are reassuringly sturdy for ladies like me who are inexperienced with 4" heels. As mentioned by other reviewers, they have a cute little blue gemstone on the sole that makes them even more special. I bought them to wear with my Fondant Tea Dress (also on this site), and I also ordered the robin's egg blue Elopement Pumps (also on this site) so I could do a side-by-side comparison. These shoes won, hands down. Definitely worth the splurge!

they are PERFECT!!!

Love these shoes!!! When I first saw them on your website and I decided I MUST HAVE THEM! I ordered them with express shipping, and they are totally worth the price! The color is great and the bow is just perfect, not to mention the satin is wonderful and very high quality. Plus, they are very comfortable to wear too, I think the platform helps!

Overpriced

I had such high hopes for these! I even paid to have them over-nighted to my hotel.
The straps on the side had obviously been adjusted a few times before I received them because the satin was worn and slightly frayed in this area-not what I would expect from a $300 pair of shoes. I decided to wear them, and found them to be uncomfortable in the toe area.
Bottom line: cute, but not worth the price tag/pain.

A RAY OF SUNSHINE!

The price is the only thing not to like. My favorite aspect of these shoes is the tiny blue jewel underneath the arch on the sole for your "something blue". They're comfortable because of the platform.

Perfect Wedding Shoes

I already had a pair of yellow heels boxed up ready to go for my wedding in May but when I saw these i knew that price was no issue. I received them today (ordered on a Wed and received the following Monday) and as soon as I put them on my feet I fell even more in love with them. I am convinced that sling back heels are the most comfortable and what better of an occasion to have on comfortable, divine heels than your wedding!!! Thank you BHLDN!!!
