These heels are stunning and from far away, probably look like they're black, but they're actually iridescent and change to a bluish teal and purple in the different lightings. I got pregnant shortly after getting them. Sadly, I was never able to wear them because my feet grew during pregnancy so they are brand new, never been worn, in the box. They were a little tight when I wore a size 9, I could have definitely used a size 9.5.
