SHOW STORY Ladies Hollow Zipper Press-Stud Rocky Shoes, LF40605BK40, 8.5US, Black Review

WOW -These shoes are amazering! They are stunning, unique, and versatile.One of my favorite features and selling points - you can wear them two ways: snap them down or unsnap and zip them up to the ankles. The snaps and zipper are very durable.I like the clear bit at the bottom of the heel, however my biggest (and only) complaint so far is the color of the bottom of the shoe. I don’t think that the tan goes with the black rest of the shoe at all. I am thinking of painting it a different color with some model paint. I love the alien, dinosaur, spine, whatever bone heel:).Some reviews reported broken heels so I am a bit weary of that happening as they do seem a bit fragile. I have only tested them around the house and they felt a bit wobbly so I will be careful to put most of the pressure on the balls of my feet - heaven help me if they break while I’m wearing them out. UPDATE: Wore these out one long night and they were comfortable and not wobbly or fragile feeling in the slightest. Plus compliments galore!IMPORTANT: These run big! I am a size 10 but had to order a 9 since that was the largest size offered. After going through some reviews and reading that they do run a size too large I was sold, though I’m sorry that is not a positive for many shoppers. The 9 feels like a 10 and even has a little extra room at the tips, but I love the fit and find them very comfortable as heels go. Despite the intimidating appearance these are very comfortable shoes – if you get the right size.Also, they arrived fast and packaged extremely well. Came in nice shoebox and each shoe has its own “dust cover” bag, such as quality purses do. I guess these can be used to protect them while in your closet, shoe stand, or wherever you store your shoes.Can’t wait to wear these with my leather pants!I highly recommend these - Just keep in mind to order a size down.

Super cute (gets a TON of complements) but you need to go one size smaller than your true size. (Ex: I wear a US9/EURO 39 and bought a size 8 in these)

I love them. They are too cool. The inside lining of the shoe was not in there well at all and they ran a little bit big. I liked them too much so I bought some insoles to replace the insides hahaha aaand now they are perfect. Bought quite a few from this brand and none ever had a problem so I decided to just fix it on my own and they are great now

I am in love with these shoes. After I saw Dsquared do them, I looked everywhere for something similar that didn't cost hundreds of dollars and finally found these a few months ago. Despite the price, they don't feel nearly as cheap as you would expect, and I haven't had any issues with the heels wiggling or breaking despite lots of wear. (And honestly, if you're putting enough weight on your heels to break them, you have no idea how to walk in high heels and should probably address that.) The body is a true white and the heel isn't as creamy as it is in the photos.My main complaint is the size. I'm normally about a 5.5, sometimes a 6, but decided to order down since I prefer my high heels to be too small rather than too big. I ordered a 5 and they're HUGE, even with insoles and an extra pair of socks. Unfortunately, I tripped walking on an uneven sidewalk and scuffed one of them beyond repair (the low cost does show in how thin and delicate the outer material is), but I'll definitely be ordering another pair! They're very cute and definitely worth the price.

OMG! I'm in love with them, I went through basically all the reviews prior to ordering these, I weighed the pros and cons and decided to get them. I'm glad I did! I listened to other reviewers and ordered one size down, normally I wear between a 7.5 - 8, and I tend to always go with 8 for heels to have extra room just in case, but because these do run larger, I ordered a size 7 and they fit great! When I first put them on, not gonna lie, holy crap they hurt, but after using my fist to stretch them a bit, walking properly, and breaking them in, they're really no more uncomfortable than any other heel I have. I'm going to get some insoles to help with the ball of foot pain, but they're totally bearable. I've seen other reviews saying the heels snapped off, mine seem pretty sturdy, but it is something I'm keeping an eye out for. So far, so good, can't wait to get more from this seller :D

The shoes look amazing, unfortunately they lasted less than 10 minutes wearing them before the zipper on the right shoe broke. With the shoe fully zipped up the zipper burst in the middle but remained fastened at the top. I was at a party and had to enlist one of my sorority siblings to help me get myself out of the shoe. I had to wear them with the points fastened down the rest of the evening. Since I can't pull the zipper fob down to the front of the shoe, they look rather awkward and uneven. It's a huge shame because they're gorgeous otherwise!

Awesome! Super sexy wearing them both ways which was a bonus b/c I didn't know they could be flipped and zipped up! They are not terribly uncomfortable. Wouldn't go so far as to say comfortable but they don't hurt either. Only con for me, which some shoes do, is the turned up toes make me feel a bit unstable since they have a tendency to rock forward.

I have been searching for a pair of spine heels since DSquared2 came out with them years ago but could never afford the designer price tag. These are so so great!! I like that unlike the originals, these have a black spine so the effect is much more subtle but silver bits for a bit of flash. Last time I checked I was a 8.5 and these fit perfectly but idk I have been going down in shoe sizes so measure your foot. Be careful if you have sensitive feet though, the seam across the top of the foot is a bit chunky and I can see how it would bother delicate feet; I am fine with them because I am used to wearing weird shoes and lots of heels so they do not bother me. I love them!!
