I only wear mendoza but outgrew these. if you think you can't wear heels you have not tried these. I swear by nw mendoza as thee most comfortable heels and easy to walk in I have ever owned and I've tried a lot of heels over the years. I'm in my 50s and can still wear these ( in a bigger size). they are a pretty deep wine color and have been worn but only shown on soles, no where else. super comfy and very flattering. will make you feel talker and sophisticated and classy but sexy too. it's in the platform to heel ratio....it's perfect. if these still fit I would NEVER sell them! Smoke-free but not pet-free home.
