++Intro++

Sometimes nagging really does pay off!!

I had spotted the Kurt Geiger Carvela Delicious shoes ( http://www.kurtgeiger.com/online-shop/56272-carvel a-delicious/image/3 ) on the web, and instantly fell head over heels in love with them, and knew that I just HAD to have them, or else I would without doubt die! I'm sure my fellow shoe addicts know the feeling! And so I went on and on and on about them, and what should i know, last week I had a package delivered. I tore into it, not knowing what it could possibly be, and when I opened the box I nearly passed out with excitement! My amazing, wonderful, perfect fionce had decided to treat me (that, or he had got sick of my overdramatics!) and had bought them for me!!!

Once I had stopped screaming and dancing around and hugging said other half, I sat and stared at them for a while, trying to find something which made them anything less than perfect. I couldn't find anything!

++What do they look like?++

The Carvela Delicious shoes are high heeled platform courts, with bow detailing on the heel, and contrasting glossy platform and slender heel. I was bought the black, the colour i had hinted for, as i am not keen on the other colour choices, which are pink and grey, but since my friends have seen mine, one has now put in an order for the pink ones (I strictly forbid anyone to get the black ones, they are mine, all mine!!) so maybe that is just me.

++Trying them on?++

I slipped foot into the shoe, and gave the biggest smile ever! Ok, so when i stood up I wasnt totally steady, but i never am with new shoes, even through I long ago got the art of walking in heels down to a T!

++Wearing them?++

I'm not going to tell you they are as comfy as the old trusted Ugg Boot, but that is obviously to be expected, as these have 11cm heels (not sure of the cm to inch conversion, just over 4 inches?). But I will tell you that they are alot comfier than alot of high heels, especially the cheaper high street equivelent! They are definately comfy enough for work, and for a night on the town (I have tryed both!), and any way, everyone knows you must suffer to be beautiful dont they?!

But please let me warn you, be prepared for shoe envy and the most compliments you have ever had! I have had more expensive, coveted shoes, but they haven't got as much attention as these!

These shoes really are amazing, and make you feel so sexy, as they really elongate your legs!

Useful tips on looking after your new shoes! (All these tips were included in a small booklet I recieved with the shoes!)

Repairs- Timely repairs are extremely important in order to prolong the wear of any type of footwear and to prevent damaging their construction, especially heels and soles. Slim heels, like stiletto or kitten styles, need to be checked regularly as the heel tip has a much smaller surface area compared to a block heel, where weight is distributed over a larger surface area.

Narrow pointed toe shoes will also need special care for the same reason, as the toe is smaller and more inclined to wear quickly.

Leather soles are made of a natural material, which is regarded as more comfortable, flexible and kinder to your feet. However due to their porous nature they are not waterproof and can often require repair sooner than a synthetic material, particularly if worn in wet conditions on numerous occasions.

Shoe care products- Before wearing any new shoe or boot we advise you to invest in suitable shoe care products, in particular protector spray. Ensure that you check the suitability of the product before use. Protector spray is a great help primarily against water penetration but can also help against soiling (these sprays do not however guarantee to waterproof).
Kurt Geiger recommends products by Collonil and Dasco.

Smooth leather - protect with suitable spray and apply neutral or tinted polish only if a suitable shade can be found. We do not recommend a tinted polish for lighter, more delicate colours as they can often discolour if not a close match.

++Would I recommend?++

Without a doubt! If you want new shoes that will make you feel sexy, confident and glamourous then buy these! I already have my eye on another pair of Carvelas, the Awesome shoe! If I can ever afford them i will let you know how they compare!

Summary: These are definately worth the slightly higher price tag, they are stunning!
