| christal's Full Review: Carlos Santana Pounce (Brown Wavy) High Heels |
I initially purchased these shoes for my trip to Miami. They are very "Miami" and by that I mean eclectic, decadent, and stylish! I love colorful things and when I was shopping for shoes, these definitely caught my eye.
Like other shoe designers, Carlos Santana definitely has a mark. As Michael Kors has a mark for heel style, Carlos has a standard shoe cut and pattern mark. These are my second pair of the "Pounce" shoes. I purchased another pair last year that were less vibrant, but gator printed black, emerald green, and silver. What I found with these heels are that the more you wear them, the more comfortable they are. They are very high, so it's expected that your feet will start hurting after some time. The whole "Sex and the City" walking city blocks in stilettos- not something I suggest doing.
The shoe itself is described to be made of a leather trim,satin upper, and has a very lightly padded insole (I suggest adding your own). Carlos Santana shoe sizing is true to size. The heel height is 4 inches. They come in Brown Wavy Satin (as pictured), Green Wavy Satin, Pink Sari Satin, and Purple Paisley Printed Fabric.
Because this particular shoe style is so vibrant, I tend to pair it with outfits that are more subtle. I've worn them with a simple black cocktail dress and frequently wear them with jeans and a white tank. I think by far they are the pair of shoes that I've received the most compliments on.
The price I paid- $89.
