A 5 year search! That's incredible, it must take super self control to avoid purchasing a good pair while waiting for the exact pair you love!
Kudos to you deb! What a terrific choice! Aquatalia! These are beautiful, classic, would go with anything, and would last for years. I really love the low heel height. I am clearly not urging restraint because I think they are worth the money if they fit you well. Clearly you love them and would wear them often.
As a repeat Aquatalia purchaser, I have found that size and fit across and occasionally within styles are not consistent, so you definitely have to try these on.
I hope they fit, and I hope they go on sale! Enjoy your September trip to Seattle!
