Honeystore Women's Rhinestone Peacock Patterned Handmade Sandals with Chunky Heel

UPDATE:FREE Shipping and FREE Returns is not actually FREE! when I returned the shoes I did not want I had $6.39 deducted for each return...How is that "Free"? To me, FREE means just that: They are shipped at no charge, and returnable at no charge. Amazon is calling this a "promotion", which it is most certainly not..."Free" is not subject to interpretation, it either is or is not free. If I am being charged, then it is not, in fact, free at all, it's a racket.The shoes are still beautiful, but the rest of it has left a bad taste in my mouth.This will end up being a review of several shoes for those of you looking for that special shoe for your wedding or other elegant event. First up, this Peacock shoe by Honeystore:These shoes are amazing, they are so beautiful that they made my sister rush to buy her own pair in the silver, which she said are more beautiful than the picture. These are unique and the rhinestones are really sparkly; I had not expected such pretty, sexy shoes for this price, all I wanted was some bling for my daughter's wedding. I had also ordered these Honeystore Women's Peacock Shaped Pattern Handmade Rhinestone Sandals Blue 9.5 B(M) US  AND these  Honeystore Women's Peacock Shaped Pattern Handmade Rhinestone Sandals Black 9.5 B(M) US  from Honeystore before my sister noticed the ones pictured in this review had a chunkier heel and might be more comfortable for longer wear.I am trying all of these with the potential outfits for the wedding (right now there are three contenders and a rehearsal dinner outfit as well). Of all the Peacock variations the black and gold are my faves...they are SO elegant and the black really makes the design pop. If they had the black in the chunky heel in stock with Prime I'd buy them in a New York minute, but I'm afraid to wait for them to come from Asia and then not have the free Amazon return feature. The gold-on-gold of this review are also beautiful, and actually work best with my front-runner outfit (a winter white pantsuit with a wide leg).FIT:I wear a 9.5 in most well-made shoes and these were just right for length of footbed and width. The only slight problem is the same thing some other reviewers have mentioned - the toe end is a bit wide for the average foot. I found that a pair of metatarsal pads helped with that and kept me from sliding forward. Other than that, the fit was consistent across all shoes and seemed true to size.DESIGN:All of these Peacock design shoes are gorgeous, and for the price they are incredible. The quality is excellent and the buckle is something I've not seen before: It is actually a hook, so you don't have to unbuckle the shoe to take it on and off, only for the initial adjustment...what a simple and useful feature! (See photos) The stiletto heel is studded all around with stones and I LOVE that about it, but the chunkier heel is more comfy for me at 57, a younger person may prefer the stiletto, which is also quite comfortable. The chunkier heel is studded up the sides, so it's different, but also pretty, and the shape is cute.PACKAGING:All pairs came well-packaged : each shoe is in its own plastic bag, with a foam bag over that, and molded tissue paper to keep the shoe's shape. Each pair came with replacement taps and extra stones, and inside each box were a couple of free gifts! (A sachet and a pair of really pretty, lacy shoe liners. (See photo) The gold-on-gold pair did come in a dinged-up box, and the company logo on the heel area was worn away as if they might have been worn, but the rest of the shoe looked new, so who knows. (See photos)Honestly, I could not be happier with Honeystore's product and service and I will DEFINITELY be buying more from them.Here are the other two contenders, both of which I reviewed separately :  SHOEZY Womens Metallic Low Heels Rhinestones Evening Sandals Bridal Dress Shoes Gold US 9.5  AND these  Fabulous Women's Delicacy-07 Sandals, Gold Pu, 10Fabulous Women's Delicacy-07 Sandals, Gold Pu, 10 The first of the two are VERY comfortable and pretty, with a lot of toe showing, so they night be best for spring/summer events (our wedding is next month in a northern clime). The heel is exactly what I wanted, but my toes were too close to the edge. They are sexy and I love the back zipper, but they just were not right for my foot. I had ordered my true size of 9.5, but I think the footbed was too short and a larger size might float on me. For the price and free returns, I would definitely try them if you like the look of them. If they had fit, I would have kept them even if I weren't going to wear them to the wedding. The only thing I'd look out for is that their packaging states that ALL packaging must be returned with the shoe, including all vinyl mailing bags, of which there were two, one inside the other...who does that?The second link is also incredibly gorgeous and for $28 everyone who can wear that heel should own a pair! I LOVED these and they were surprisingly comfortable given the height of the heel, but they were too big, and they were out of the next size down. I had wanted a 9.5, but since they were out, I ordered up, and the 10 was huge. I also decided that because my bride-daughter is so petite, I would tower over her in photos. If they ever get a 9 or 9.5 back in stock on Prime, I'll probably buy a pair just because i love them, even if I have nowhere to wear them but the boudoir =)

I got the shoes on time. Thank you!

The clasp is so dangerous and provides minimal security especially if you plan on dancing in these. Ended up returning them. I gave them a 2 because they at least looked nice.

The shoe straps were backward. Had to get them to shoe shop for the themed weddingMore fees ugggggggg

I love these shoes! For our annual Halloween party, I dressed as a Peacock Witch. I was so excited when I saw these shoes on amazon since I knew they would be perfect with my glamorous costume. When they arrived, I was so pleased to see that they are even more beautiful and sparkly in person that in the photos. But the biggest surprise is that these shoes are SUPER COMFORTABLE! I was literally amazed that shoes that look like this could even be remotely comfortable, let alone REALLY comfortable! The sole feels like it must have a cushion in it, because it isn't hard like many high-heeled sandals. And the under-side of the upper, the side that touches your skin, is completely lined with a sort of super soft, seamless foam-like material so that there are absolutely no areas that rub or irritate.Size wise; I initially ordered a size 9, and it was a little bit too loose, so I exchanged for an 8 1/2 and they were perfect.The buckle; it is a different kind of buckle than I am used to, but after looking at it for a few seconds, I realized that it's actually super simple! It just hooks, like a bra strap. Which makes them far easier to hook by yourself, while they are on your foot.

Love these. Hope they hold up. Seem well made for the price.

These shoes are stunning! They came in earlier than expected and were even more beautiful than the picture. They have a nice wide heel that makes me feel very stable and a nice grippy sole so even slick floors aren't an issue. The hooking mechanism for the strap is genius! You can adjust them how you like then just hook them. No more fiddling trying to get it properly latched.The area underneath the gems is a soft suede like material which makes them super comfortable. They find the dig in or scratch at my feet at all. I got them to wear with a gown, but I don't ever want to take them off. They even look cute with jeans.The seller is extremely responsive. I asked a question with the order and they got back with me within hours. I even liked the packaging. Inside the gold shoe box there were replacement heel tips and extra gems in case any come loose. Each shoe has its own little fabric bag perfect for safely storing them. And the little bonus socks were very cute! I'm just so pleased with my order

These are the most beautiful shoes I have ever owned! I wore them to my daughter’s wedding and received a ton of compliments. I love them!

I purchased these for a special event. I was worried about the shipping time so I contacted the seller. I received a prompt reply and the shoes were sent out and arrived quickly. I was nervous about the size but based on other reviews I ordered my usual size and they fit perfectly. I’m a solid 8.5 US or 25.5 JP. I ordered 25.5. My foot is wide and they were fine.The top material is soft an flexible so they did not rub or pinch anywhere. I wore the all night and went dancing and they were COMFORTABLE!

Absolutley gorgeous pair of shoes. Very comfortable on my wide feet (size 7, e or eee fit usually, ordered size 7 and they fit like a glove).Packaged really well, each sandal in its own little bag, spare heels tops, and a wee gift of pair of black lacey sandal socks.Arrived pretty quick, slightly over a week from ordering.Bery happy overall. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because one of the fastening hooks came broken. However, after emailing the shop, they promissed to send the replacement hook asap (shoes are for the wedding and I can't be wasting time returning shows and waiting for replacement, so asked if it is possible to send me the hook detail itself and I will have it fix3d in local cobblers.) It would be 5 stars otherwise and the way it is being handled I would change the rating once it is sorted.Communication was great , loved 5he product look and quality and would definitely buy from them again.

Received these shoes today. Package arrive 4 days earlier than expected: Way to go Honeystore.I have been wearing the shoes for approximately 5 hours. There is no need to break these shoes in as they fit like a glove. There is no pressure from the front strap and the "peacock" holds your foot firmly in place. The arch is so comfortable, almost like a built in arch support. The wider heal makes the shoe so stable I can run in them. No pinching, no knee pain. The non slip sole is truly non slip. The best shoe I ever bought for comfort.The back strap is different than I've ever seen. The buckle is a faux buckle for sizing only as there is a clip that connects the strap to the front of the buckle to secure in place: No more struggling to get the small buckle done up. Now lets talk about the bling - very shiny, perfect for the saree and salwar kameez i will be wearing. This is the second pair of shoes that I've bought from Honeystore and I highly recommend the service and quality of the items.

Je suis très satisfaite de l'apparence de ces chaussures. C'est un véritable travail d'orfèvre. Le rapport qualité prix est imbattable. En France, une chaussure d'une telle qualité et d'un tel travail se vendrait dix fois plus cher...Cependant, je ne serai pas catégorique quant à confirmer que la semelle est en cuir, au vu de sa couleur et de son odeur et deuxièmement, ceux sont des chaussures pour se rendre à une soirée ou pour danser la salsa, par exemple. Or, pour moi, qui est les pieds larges, il me serait impossible de danser avec celles-ci puisque le dessus est trop large et ne sert pas suffisamment le pied. Qu'en est-il pour les personnes avec un pied fin !Le fabriquant doit absolument réduire "l'amplitude" du paon afin de permettre un maintien parfait du pied pour danser.Je ne les ai pas renvoyées parce qu'elles sont vraiment superbes, mais je ne danserai pas avec et ne marcherai pas beaucoup non plus puisqu'elles sont trop larges et très fatigantes à marcher.

Wahnsinn, welch ein mega schöner Schuh :-) ich freu mich wie Bolle!War erst wegen Passgenauigkeiten am überlegen, da die Schuhe aus England kommen und der Rückversand meist sehr teuer wird ... hatte den Verkäufer vorher angeschrieben, wie bzw ob eine Rücksendung überhaupt möglich wäre ... sehr schnelle und freundliche Antwort bekommen. Auch Hilfe wurde angeboten - vorher genau den Fuß messen u. Angaben hinschicken u. er schaut nach was an Größe dann passt ... hab ich dann gar nicht gemacht ... hab die Schuhe blind bestellt, weil ich mich total verguckt u. nirgends ansatzweise solche gesehen od gefunden habe.100% Kaufempfehlung von mir, immer wieder ... u. wer weiß, vielleicht folgen noch mal die türkisen od. pinken.Der Absatz ist etwas breiter, dadurch guter Tritt, nicht zu hoch, nichts drückt, 1 Paar Ersatzabsätze u. auch Steinchen sind dabei ... und sie sehen aus wie auf dem Bild, aber in echt noch viiiiel schöner ... TOP!Freu mich auf die anstehende Hochzeit, auf diese schönen Schuhe kann ich gaaaanz sicher stundenlang laufen/tanzen ... und noch dazu werden sie der Hingucker sein ;-)
