I have worn stilletos for years, but with 2 small children, I needed something I can be a bit faster in and these fit the bill! They are cutest when you look straight down at your feet--the toe is a bit pointy, but not too much. The shoes dress up cropped pants and look great with skirts just above the knee. The reason for 4 stars is due to only whole size differences.

I want to love these shoes; the style is pretty and versatile, and the heel height is sexy yet comfortable.
Unfortunately, these are the most exasperating shoes I've ever worn. The slingback ankle straps, constantly slipping down from the first wearing, have stretched out and allow the shoes to flop off my heels. Instead of staying comfortably on my feet, the heels now slap, slap, slap along behind me wherever I go. My original intention was to purchase these cute shoes in more colors, but that won't be happening now. I love Boden shoes, but this style is not well designed.

I loved these sexy slingbacks so much, I purchased a 2nd pair! Ordered the black. Normally wear size 10, and I purchased 42. Fit perfect. Very sturdy and have been wearing them to work, church and going out to dinner!

I ordered the navy sixties sling backs, they were a very dark navy almost indistinguishable from black. They were very cute, but I couldn't keep them because they were too uncomfortable, as the toe part is so narrow my toes were pinched.

They look beautiful

SO happy with this purchase! These shoes are just as described--chic and sleek. I'd like to take it a step further and add sexy in a demure and classy way--very Audrey Hepburn. I ordered the "dune" colored heel, which is a nice nude color (photo color is accurate) and will match many of the clothes I own (and the nude color really does help lengthen the appearance of one's legs!).

I ordered the size 40 (normally wear a size 9) and these fit wonderfully. As others have suggested, the back strap was a *smidge* too loose, but fortunately, there was one more hole on the strap, so I simply readjusted and voila! They fit like a dream. And contrary to a couple of reviewers, I find these to be extremely comfortable--so much more so than other heels I own, so of course, the comfort level makes these heels that much more delicious.

I think this style is timeless and is also a look women of all ages can pull off, whether you're in college or a sassy octogenarian. I have no doubt I will be wearing these sweet little numbers all summer long.

when i opened the boden box containing these delicious azure confections, i squealed.

and then bought a duplicate pair.

These shoes just arrived and I love them. I adjusted the ankle strap so that it is using the smallest notch, and they fit perfectly!

The color is bright, the patent leather is shiny.

I can see all sorts of ways to wear these shoes - I got the seaspray, and it's a true, intense turquoise.

Love them.

I would have to agree with the one other review saying these are not comfortable. I would have LOVED to keep them but couldn't take 20 steps in them.

These shows are very beautiful and well made. I ordered them in dark blue, and the color is so pretty. But I am absolutely baffled at the reviews that describe them as comfortable--they are decidedly not so. I wanted to break them in slowly, so I put them on while I was sitting at my desk at home, and they were painful. Sure, I thought, they will start to break in, like leather shows sometimes do. But after two of these "break-in" sessions, I could not bear to try any longer. There was not enough room for my toes in the front, and a larger size would not have solved this problem as the length of the shoe was quite sufficient. I have medium to narrow feet with a fairly high arch, so definitely not on the wide side. Since I could not get comfortable in these shoes even while sitting down, I thought it foolish to keep them. Pity--would have loved these!
