Made my feet beautiful! Gemini is an absolutely gorgeous shoe, especially if you have large and/or wide feet. The straps on the vamp start low enough to the toe so as to prevent making your toes look real long, as some other sandal styles did. And the four straps are just the right width to make a foot look perfectly proportioned. I normally wear a 9 wide, but had to order a 9M because wide was not available. The medium width was wide enough. But as others have also noted, the heel of the shoe is wide/loose, so the shoe slips off your heel with every step (even for me, and these were medium width instead of my usual wide width). Also, there is no real padding under the ball, or heel, of the foot. I had to return these beautiful shoes for 4 reasons: I would have had to put an insole at the ball of the foot, causing the medium width to become too cramped, I think. I would have also had to put pads on the sides of the heel to keep them from slipping off with every step. Not a big issue, but wasn't sure that this would really solve the problem, and couldn't take the risk. Maybe if they made the outside straps with an adjustable buckle that could have held the shoe on enough? The heels are 3" high. Maybe not high for most folks, but too high for me. I have a bad back, so couldn't handle the angle. Really needed this shoe in a dark color. None of these problems were deciding negatives on their own, but put them all together, and I just had to send the shoes back, very reluctantly. I wanted them to work so badly – they made my feet look beautiful! Give me Touch Ups Gemini in a 2-inch heel in black or navy, pad the insoles, and fix the problem with the heel slipping, and it would be perfect for me.

Bridal shoe - The shoes are exactly what I was looking for...small problem with the fit in the heel, the heel slips and perhaps as they conform to my foot that will go away.

Loved this shoe! I wore this shoe for my wedding and absolutely loved it! It was fun having silver shoes, instead of the traditional white. They were easy to break in (I wore them during my dance lessons) and had no problems with them. I put them on at 2 PM and didn't take them off until after midnight. It was nice to have a stylish shoe, with a manageable heel height, that weren't a fortune and I can actually wear again (which I've done). They go great with dressy jeans or cute dresses.

Sorry I bought these - I purchased two pairs of shoes in a "Wedding Rush" last spring. The Meredith shoe became my final choice and as I brought out this pair as I have a wedding this June also...I was sadly disappointed. They fall off my foot. I took them in to have heel inserts put in. No difference, they put ball inserts and heal inserts in and they still fell off. They are not too big. The design of the single strap on the side makes the shoe "give" like a sandal. I am out the money - they have never been worn - I am so sorry I didn't check into the shoe better before now!

Very nice shoe, but the heel does tend to slip when walking. I like the way the shoe looks on and with the dress I have for them. Will look into a product to help with the heel issue! : )

Size is a little large - I am a standard size 6 shoe and although this shoe was beautiful, it runs a little large and I needed it in a 1/2 size smaller, which was a bummer because it doesn't come in that size. 3" heel, I measured it :)

Very Wide Heel - I typically wear an 8.5 in dressy shoes - I bought the 8.5, which fit the length of my foot perfectly. But, because the heel is so wide, I needed to but heel inserts in the back...which made my toes pop out the front too much. So, I had to exchange them for a 9, which fits fine with the heel inserts.

Good Shoe - Not a match for me... I purchased these as an option for my wedding. They were very loose in the heel area. They fit true to size. I have a moderately wide foot and order an 8 in wide and an 8 1/2 in M width. The size 8W fit fine, but ultimately the heel slipping and overall look weren't a match for me. Good shoe though....I'd say it can accommodate a very wide foot since it was big on me.

Elegant shoe - Very nice elegant look, almost like a ballroom dancer. Open style, still with a lot of structure. Pretty comfortable on my wide foot. My shoes were shipped to me with some rhinestones missing at the center embellishment though, so I returned. If you buy, watch for any loose or missing stones just in case.

Nice Shoe - Ordered these shoes for my wedding. I usually wear a Wide in dress shoes but had to return them because they were too wide and some of the crystals were missing off the pendants. The reordered Medium width worked perfectly and they were comfortable for the entire length of my wedding day even though I did not have a chance to wear them before the big day.

Gorgeous shoes...but - A few photos of these shoes made them appear ivory although the description said "white satin." My gown is bright white satin, but the classic style of the shoes went perfectly with my gown. I also liked the width of the heel which I felt was perfect for an outdoor ceremony. Unfortunately, the shoes are slightly off-white and had to be returned. The fit is slightly larger than the size. I am an 8.5 but usually wear an 8 in open-toed shoes. My foot slipped forward too far in these shoes making my toes touch the ground. Beautiful, classic-looking, high-quality shoes though.

Perfect wedding shoes - I had these on from about 1:45 until I came out of them on the dance floor at around 8:30. I've got narrow heels and my they kept popping out, but a little fashion tape fixed that situation. The shoes started to get a little uncomfortable after about 6 hours, but most dress shoes will do that to you, especially on your wedding day with all the walking and dancing. Definitely good value for the price.

Great Shoe - This is the most comfortable heel I have ever tried on. It looks great on and I feel like I can walk in it for hours without feeling any discomfort! Also, the width was perfect, which I often have trouble with.

Beautiful shoe, but.... I bought these shoes for my upcoming wedding and was thrilled when I opened the box- beautiful, classic looking, exactly the vintage look I was going for. They are a great height and are overall pretty comfortable, but they do slip off the back of my heel when I walk. I decided to keep them in hopes that they will fit more securely once my feet swell a little from being on the dance floor! I would def. recommend buying a size down- I usually wear a 7.5 or 8 and I ordered the 7.5. I'm almost wishing I ordered the 7's!

Great Look - The shoe looks great but there's no cushioning under the ball of your foot. The ornamentation seems to rub the foot the wrong too. Otherwise a really cute shoe if you plan on wearing it for a short time.

Both glamorous and comfortable! Absolutely beautiful shoes! Looks a lot pricier than it costs. The fit is absolutely perfect. The heel height is just right. I had to stand for a long time with these shoes but experienced no pains, no blisters at all!

Love these shoes! They were comfortable from the start and very flattering. I can wear a 7 1/2 or an 8 and the 7 1/2 were perfect.

Gorgeous Shoe - perfect for Vegans - I recently purchased this shoe to wear at my upcoming wedding later this summer. It is very difficult for me (as a Vegan) to find cute shoes that are not made from leather. These shoes are beautiful! I have only had the opportunity to wear them around the house as of yet, so they have not been tested in the real world; however, I'm already loving them. They have that old Hollywood, glamorous look to them and are a great height.

This shoe is just ok - Not what I expected, but I wore them anyway. The heel area is extremely loose.

Seems to run small - This is a very pretty shoe and looks better than it does online. I normally have to buy a 1/2 size bigger when I order dress shoes. Based on the testimonies, I ordered my normal size and the shoe was too small. I'm going to order it one size larger. I ordered my shoes yesterday and they arrived today!! I'm impressed.

Love these shoes - I love these shoes I bought the silver to go with an outfit I have and the shoes stole the show. they are a little higher than I thought so I am not used to the heel, but that’s me not the shoe.

Fit a little big - I bought these shoes for my wedding in June. I was amazed how quick they arrived. They were beautiful and I was impressed with the look. I did not keep them however because they were a little large and the back slipped off my heel. I would suggest buying a 1/2 size smaller. The only reason why I did not use this particular shoe for my wedding is because my 1/2 size smaller was out of stock.

I love these shoes - I bought these shoes for my wedding. I had searching for a wide shoe for so long. Every store I went to did not carry wide so I took a chance and ordered them online. I love them! I have such a hard time finding shoes I will definitely be ordering from Zappos again!

My review is simple. I was 110% satisfied with my new shoes; happy at the ease of ordering them (my first time ever ordering shoes online); and ecstatic at receiving them the very next day. I have just discovered a new way to shoe shop!
