Detailed Review
The Ellie Shoes Women's 212-ariel Slide Pump stands out for its clear design, which enhances its versatility. With a modest 2-inch heel, this pump offers just the right amount of height without compromising comfort. The lightweight construction allows for ease of movement, making it a popular choice among dancers who require both style and practicality.
When it comes to materials, the 100% polyurethane fabric gives these shoes a sleek finish while ensuring durability. However, users should be cautious as the clear material can easily show signs of wear and tear over time. The rubber sole provides good traction, although some may find that it lacks sufficient arch support for all-day use.
As far as style goes, these pumps can effortlessly elevate any outfit, whether paired with a fancy dress or casual ensemble. They’re particularly appealing for events where you want to make a bold statement without sacrificing comfort—ideal for parties, performances, or intimate gatherings.
It's important to note that sizing can be tricky; many customers recommend ordering a half size larger than your usual fit to accommodate any potential snugness.

User Reviews
I ordered it being nervous, but took the risk and had a size 6. I am usually a size 6 1/2 and when I tried it, I had to practice walking a little to stretch out the plastic. It’s best to use a panty hose or lotion in the feet, to soothen out the shoe. I would only wear for a short event. These can get uncomfortable if walking more than 5 minutes. I would recommend wearing socks. :)
Quite comfortable, especially for a heeled shoe. It is slightly big but only because it doesn't come in half sizes, though it is an excellent price for the shoe.Overall 9.5/10Comfort 8/10Extended wear comfort 7/10Material quality 10/10Durability 9/10Packaging 9/10Cleaning/shoe upkeep 9/10Fit 7/10Design 10/10
Didn’t like the feel
This shoe is very uncomfortable, like other reviews said, but I could live with that. The thing I couldn't live with, however, was the fact that the vinyl cut into my foot within ten minutes of me wearing it. It, luckily, didn't draw blood, but it was very red and sore for days after. The shoe just has rough vinyl at the edges, without folding it over like I would have expected.I contemplated giving this 2 stars, but even though it does look nice from a distance and might work for a single photo shoot, the fact that the shoe cut me within minutes really ruins any goodwill I had towards it. Wearing it for any longer would just be painful. Maybe if you wore socks it would be better, but even then, the shoe is still uncomfortable, and socks in a clear shoe is like wearing socks with sandals. It's a shame, as it is a beautiful shoe (though, as I saw in another review, you can see the nail through the plastic, which kind of ruins the look). Oh well. I returned it and got my money back.
Use for suits that I don’t have shoes to match. Would prefer nothing instead of the heart decor
I feel so comfortable with those shoes i try to wear them often cause I love them. If someone wanna buy this just do it cause you’ll be happy after that .
They where too small you got to get like 2 sizes to fit comfortable
I used the measurement guide and it was pretty accurate- my daughter is usually a 9, i got her a 9 and it worked well. My only complaint is the wire in the back- it has to be stretched a lot to not hurt while putting on. She is 10, she needed these for a dance at her school, and i could not find them ANYWHERE IN THE MALLS ETC...so i was nervous when buying here, but I would do it again.
