Being comfy is always my top priority, and sometimes wearing high heels just isn’t the move—no matter how cute they are.

Glowing customer review: "Bought these for the Beyoncé Renaissance Concert and they were so damn comfortable! They look exactly like the pictures. I wear a size 10 in women’s and 8.5 in mens. I bought true to size and they fit perfectly. While they are hella cozy, they’re definitely more of a fashion shoe so I don’t recommend them for high level athletic activity."
