I've never found Nina shoes to be overly comfy.  They don't have a lot of cushion.

OMG! How crazy I should see this post tonight of all nights! I just bought that Exact red pair in a size 9 and it arrived today! Sooo beautiful! *sighs* And I am not a shoe girl at all (or...I thought I wasn't!). So, this is my take on these shoes after wearing them around the house for a full hour:

They are seriously SEXY. I kept asking my FI and he kept assuring me they are damned sexy shoes. with pants? sexy. with a skirt? sexy. with nothing? SEXY! ;P

I never, ever, ever want to have to stand for prolonged periods of time in these shoes. They are soo seriously high that if I try to keep my legs straight standing in them, I feel like I am going to fall over. They were okay if I kept my knees bent a bit.

The 9, for me, is too long (my toes don't peep like they ought to in a peep toe!) and too narrow. After wearing them for an hour, they did stretch out a little bit, but I feel that unless you have narrow feet, they'll be tight.

They are way better with nylons on your feet then bare footed.

The straps rotate for easier connections and disconnections! Love this feature! Connect it in front where its easy and just slide it around to the side! Yay!

Walking in these shoes is a bit awkward. I normally have a very long stride and these seriously hobbled that. I like to brag that i can run in almost all heels- these are not heels you could ever run in, ever! I think its the height of the heel- you just can't take long, purposeful strides in these. Think more 1-3" strides then 1ft strides.

The leather bottoms and insides are baby soft. Sooo smooth. Also, the gold insides are fab! Sure no one but you sees them, but who cares? It rocks just knowing something so awesome is under my foot! :) Also, the satin outside is very nice too.

These shoes have no grip. On our hardwood floors I had to be careful how I stepped because, while I never fell, I felt like the shoes would slip out from under me if I wasn't careful. Not good shoes to wear outside in the winter if you live anywhere with snow or ice!

Overall- This beautiful, sexy, amazing shoe is not something I'd recommend wearing for your wedding day! *sigh* This is a shoe you put on when you want to bring someone to their knees with lust...while you are sitting down. After walking around the house for an hour, they left my feet red, sore, swollen, and marked (from being too narrow and having my foot push into the bottom bit). While i'd be happy wearing these if it was summer and I was driven from my door to a table where I planned to sit all night, the very idea of wearing them for prolonged periods of time makes me cry (both for the pain and that they can't be worn that long).

P.S. I picked my pair up super cheap on ebay! Brand new, in the box with the cloth sack thingy still in its plastic packaging. So, if you just want a pair of killer sexy heels for looking good in, check there! :)
