OMG! These are like walking on a cloud. I am a big fan of wearing heels every day......I think they just look nice and girlie and make me feel happy. I wear heels most days to work (except on the occasional day I wear jeans with my Converse). In the past I was a big fan of the comfort I would get from Aerosoles. The problem with Aerosoles (at least IMO) is each year they only have about 1 cute style in a heel that I like. This year I started venturing out of Aerosole land, as everything just looked extra frumpy to me. Well a friend of mine turned me on to Sofft. I will never buy Aerosoles again. Number one, they have many more cute styles to choose from (sure they have a few clunkers, as they are a comfort shoe, but most shoe lines do). I picked the Raquel because it has the highest heel (4 inch) in a sandal and I thought the style was reall cute. WOW! These are the most amazingly comfortable shoe I have ever worn. And let me say they were comfortable right out of the box. They blow the doors off of Aerosoles in terms of comfort. And how amazingly cute they are in person. I have gotten many compliments on these! I will definitely be buying more heels by Sofft. See ya Aerosoles!
