Soft Style Women's Angel II Pump

CUSTOMER REVIEW



I'm not a shoe person. In fact, this is the first new pair of shoes I've bought in three years. I'm happy with them. I don't like getting fancy - I don't need bows, sequins, decorative stitching, funky holes, weird-looking layers, buttons, or any other junk on my shoes. I can't wear high heels; I'm on my feet all day and need something comfortable but professional-looking. I need a wide width, which can be hard to find at reasonable prices.



These shoes fit the bill pretty well. I wasn't certain of the size, and it turned out 9.5 was just too small. I reordered in 11 and they were just a bit too large, which I quickly remedied with some heel inserts. Now they're still on the large side but I can live with them.



I do have two problems with these shoes. I wish they came in a 10.5, as I suspect that's my real size. But the real problem: I wish shoe companies would stop making women's dress shoes that have zero traction. Seriously, the soles on these things are as smooth as a granite countertop and I damn near broke my ankle slipping on carpet when I tried them on. I'm going to have to buy anti-slip pads to adhere to the underside so I don't end up in the hospital. I like the shoes enough that I'll do so, but really, I shouldn't have to purchase additional accessories to make a pair of shoes safe on everyday surfaces. It's not like I'm taking them ice fishing or something.
