Impulse purchase after I got my hair done.

I tried both the leopard and zebra. Zebra won out.

Or have I lost my marbles?

No don't keep. They look like they will hurt your feet.

So pretty! They'll function like a neutral for you, right? Beautiful, but a little high for every day wear. Maybe the leather shirt is more practical?

They look so pretty on your feet! I say keep if you can handle the height!

My heart says keep, keep, keep!

But my Seattle head says return, return, return.

What are we going to do, Anna?

I know Angie, exactly what you mean. I'm having the same dilemma.
Is my hard earned overtime money from call better spent on this:

I love the shoes, but think you will get far more use out of that fab top instead.

I voted keep as they are AWESOME, but Angie makes a point. I guess I'd ask my self:

Are they comfy enough?
Do they fill a hole? (IOW, do you have another pair of super fun sandals in a neutral?)

I love the leather top and if the shoes don't fill a hole I'd get the top instead.

I hate the fact that you'll probably have to be sensible - they're FANTASTIC shoes. Sigh. Do you know what you want to do, yet?

I wouldn't keep them, even if you can wear high heels. I don't quire like the black part sticking out, although the shoe looks super cool, but what really bugs me is how unhealthy those will be for your feet. I don't want to sound harsh or aggressive here, and would like you to take my opinion in a good way (I basically care for people's health?): your toes are losing their original shape already and they could end really badly if you continue wearing high heels, especially if you wear them often. Sometimes we women think that just because we feel comfortable enough wearing some things, or bodies will too, and that's not always the case. I know myself pretty well, I already have a slight curvature on my feet at age 23, and that's without mostly ever wearing heels, because my tendency is hereditary. I vote find another pair of as striking shoes, with zebra pattern if you fancy, but not as high and more comfortable. Your feet will thank you in the long run, and your hips and spine too!

I voted a reluctant return. I know they are probably your style but I think that they may be a torture device after a while. I love the shape of the heel and I tried a pair like that on and I found it very unstable and it's a shame to keep gorgeous shoes like that only for sitting. The top is definately a winner though!

As I'm new to the forum I don't know your style/footwear background, which perhaps others are taking into account.

It depends what is your personal preference and comfort level; firstly regarding looks:comfort ratio, and secondly regarding frequency-of-wear:perceived value ratio.

While some people think the shoe is too high, a high heel like this might be part of your lifestyle. Also, while some people think you won't get a lot of wear out of them, you may be fine with having a gorgeous, high quality shoe in occasional rotation. Decide according to your own circumstances and values.

Purely subjectively, the shoes thrill me.
