So cute but too wide and loose, March 15, 2008
This review is from: Nine West Women's Reedy Slingback Sandal (Apparel)
Bought my usual size, and the shoes were too big. I do have quite narrow feet, but there was also extra room with the strap in the back. They are very adorable but I just couldn't wear them, they kept slipping off of my feet!

very pleased with this slingback, June 30, 2008
I wore this stylish shoe all night to a wedding. It did not bother me (i.e. slip off my heel, create blisters) walking around or dancing. The color dark grey went very well with my yellow dress. I highly recommend this shoe and plan to buy it in at least one other color.

Good with Drawbacks, February 6, 2010
These shoes are cute, undeniably. Their color is a little warmer than what you see on the monitor but if you are attempting to match with the tones in your dress you should be fine (at least if you buy the magenta!). There are a couple of hangups, though:
1. The grips aren't very good at all. Now I wore these prom, so I had to be mindful of people bumping into me. The same can't be said for people who are going to less crowded engagements; still, they won't help you on iced-over, gravelly, or even lacquered surfaces any. If you are into latin dancing and need leverage for spins and the like - don't bother.
2. This shoe, like most others I've encountered from Nine West, are quite NARROW. I'll admit that my feet are wide, but if you are in the same boat I don't recommend these to you. No pair is worth the trauma you'll probably incur if you wear these for too long.
3.The arch support could have been better - contrary to its photo, the shoe itself sports a bit of a low profile (i.e., your foot isn't "pushed up" but elongated - think mules vs. pumps). For me that meant that my arch didn't align properly with the shoe.
Other than that I got what I was looking for in this pair. They held up very nicely throughout my party - my feet did not slide around in the shoe (I wore a 9, my usual size), and I didn't have pain at all. Still, if you are seriously considering them I suggest trying to find a similar pair in-store to walk in before buying.
