I got my pair in white and purple. They are cuter in person! They are quite comfortable for how high they are, but because they are higher than my daily wear, I'm glad I didn't get more than one pair.

I read one review that said they were cuter than they looked. What is the sole texture? I was hoping to dance in them.

Since its all ice and snow here now the most I wear heels for is dancing.

I ordered those on Friday in the Black and White. I wanted the White and Plum but didn't think thye'd match anything I owned. There was also a pair with green I think.

I LOVE the dress you made to go with these. You could wear it on a romance novel cover.. Don't forget the cute apron! ;)

My Diesel shoes came yesterday. I knew they'd been shipped and was a little disappointed they didn't arrive Saturday, thinking I'd have to wait till today at least. (Didn't realize they were coming via FedEx.) What a sweet surprise to get a package on a no-mail day!
Coincidentally, we had tickets to the OKC Jazz Orchestra concert last night, and these shoes were just the way to jazz up my wardrobe.
I wore them, there were quite comfy for being so high, and of course I received comments from strangers. ;)

Oh, those are cuter than they look on Amazon. Now I am tempted.

I got mine too. Both the green and the black and white.The quality is very high, and there's plenty of cushioning. They are very foot flattering. The strap on the T strap is really long, so I tucked it in.I will either shorten that strap or just take the scissors to it. I like them better that way.My husband kind of turned his nose up at them, too flashy for his taste, but he only saw them in the box, not on my foot.
They fit my size 9 foot very comfortably, and feel balanced and stable despite being a higher heel than I'm used to.
For the price and the fact that to return them I'd need to pay postage and a $10 restocking fee per pair, I think I'll get me money's worth ($22) of wear from them.

Yeah I saw this and went and bought them... they were out of my size so I bought them a size too big and figure I'll get those gel insert things for the back to make them fit right... [huh]

Wondering, of those who've gotten a pair of the Diesel t-straps, do they fit true to size?

I like the black and brown the best, but I'm not sure they are the right colors for every-season wear- spring isn't too far away, and I tend to wear my other black dress shoes less in warmer weather. Has anyone else seen that pair in person? My second choice would be the green/taupe... I like green, and they'd match my wardrobe better than purple or white/black.

I would say they are pretty close to true to size. I might have been able to got up a half size with an insert.

Thanks Kamikat. I just saw the photo of the purple shoes on your blog. They are definitely much cuter than the stock photos show!

I
I bought size 9. In some shoes I wear 9.5, in Dansko a 40. They fit me really well, I would say they run a little on the big side.

What I find kind of cool about these is that they are a combo of nubuck and patent leathers.The wingtip part is patent, the rest is nubuck, there is a lot of fine detail to these shoes.
