Super-Feminine Sky High Beauties
This review probably doesn't need much explanation, as my title says it all. They're comfortable to walk in, very lightweight, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that they're a lot higher than I expected. I wear these with denim and I just bought a white summery dress that I think will look great with them. I think El Carmen is a stunning shoe and I'm already looking at getting another pair.Samantha
beautiful AND uncomfortable
These shoes are so pretty. I Love it. Judging from the photo I actually liked the pink polka dot ones although I went for the red gingham because I felt that it would match my morena skin tone more nicely. It looks so 1950's!! (these shoes remind me of Betty Boop, for some reason)Caitlin
So bummed...
Bought this during the amaaaazing sale over Thanksgiving as a Christmas present for my roommate. She has tiny feet and always wears a 6.5, however, these were SO small in a 6.5 that she just couldn't even make it happened. Naturally, I knew there were no returns. It was such an amazing sale, but such a sad bummer. Beware of how narrow this shoe is! Still love you, Solestruck. :)Aylin
Am so in-love with my JC's El Carmen
I super love this shoe, the first time I saw these babies in Solestruck, I have to put them on my Shopping Cart. =) P.S Solestruck service is really great! 2 thumbs up for you guys! Am sure there will be a next purchase soon. Happy New Year! I also blogged about it here: http://thedailyposh.blogspot.com/2011/12/shoes-jeffrey-campbells-el-carmen-blue.htmlDaisy
Spot on!
These are just so cheery and fun! No doubt a head turner, and extremely comfortable as well (as usual with JC designs). I ordered my regular size, and they're perfect. I love the contrast of the cute print with the stripperlike platform. Adorable! More on pennyforyourshoes.blogspot.comNeally
Gorgeous & Comfy
Love. Nothing bad to say. Gorgeous print on shoe and super comfy to wear.Neally
LOVE!
Great shoe all around, true to size, beautiful material, comfortable to walk in. Heel can get a little wobbly but nothing serious. LOVE THEM!Megan
Pinup shoe.
So comfortable and just darling!! A dream shoe. I'm usually a 7 1/2 but went with a 7, fits a teeny bit snug near the toe area... but the padded soles are great! These are my first pair of JC's and I'm hooked! ;)Angelique
:(
I absolutely adore this shoe, however they are a tad too small and can't wear them. I'm sure I'd fall completely in love with them if I could take them out on the town. Alas...rachel
classic pin up girl shoe
its THE shoe for a fun girls night out or if u are trying to impress your date with a more playful side of you. it can get a little bit too high if you are on the tall side and your date isnt. it was surprisingly comfy. black white dot is color that matches your clothes easily. i find it a bit too high for my liking but nevertheless, its still a really pretty shoe and i will wear it! it fits true size.Lauren
60's Feminine with an Edge
I bought these in the red gingham checkered print because I immediately had a vision of Marylin Monroe in her signature white flowy dress. I'm saving them for summer when I can mix and match the patterns with stripes and pair with a shorter rendition of the flowy Marilyn Monroe dress. I don't like that they fit snug in the front and my toes almost seep out of the peep. I hate that look and I know if I would have ordered a .5 size up they'd be too big so I'll have to deal. They're kinda clonky and heavy which I also wasn't expecting but... whatever. I got them half of during the black friday sale so I'm not complaining.Bianca
Lovely pin up shoes
Lovely shoes...you put them on and you find yourself feeling gourgeous and in your own Wonderland.....one notice for those who want to buy these shoes....i am a size 10 i have other JC size 10 that fit me perfect, however this pair is a bit big, so maybe a 9.5 would have been a better choice for me....other than that they are flawlessZee C.
Hey Beauties
High Heels and surprisingly easy to walk in, they make your legs looks infinite ! Fits true to size. I don't think the toe area is narrow, it just fits perfectly. Blue/fuschia combo is just awesome and sublimates all your outfits.Bianca
Lovely pin up shoes
What can I say about these shoes, they are wonderfull, you put them on and you imagine yourself in another world. What more can you ask from JC :) only one problem, they are a bit too big for my feet. I am a size 10 and have other shoes from JC size 10 that fit me perfectly, however these I should have taken a size 9 or 9.5Teer Wayde
Deelish!
One super hot shoe! I ordered up after reading the reviews bellow and the 10.5 fit my normal width size 10 and it is a perfect fit.Tilly

Truly a beautiful shoe
These are even more gorgeous in person! Comfortable to wear & walk in, too. Look great with jeans or a miniskirt. Real conversation piece, too. Stunning & very fun to wear. Would love to have these in every color.ms.gusset
freaking adorabuls
whilst i love it, it's only use for me would be a photoshoot, because the toe area isn't wide enough for me, and those heels are still a tad high for someone who usually wears blundstone boots. gorgeous shoe, wrenched from my hands to be returned. the gingham is lovely.Sarah
Comfortable and Gorgeous...
Very true to size shoe, but it is rather narrow at the front... Incredibly comfy, one of my comfiest pairs of heels! Love them!Juliana Diniz
El Carmen
Amazing! It is a shame I chose the wrong number. It is a bit tight. I'm wearing them today though.Kelly
Superb
I ordered these a few days before 4th of July, and they arrived in an extremely timely manner-- thank you Solestruck! These shoes are extremely comfortable, I wore them to my boyfriends show and they are certainly showstoppers. I encourage everyone to purchase a pair, they were a perfect touch for 4th of July. You should come out with British ones too JC!! Also, they fit perfectly, and I have long, skinny fit. My only con to them is that my pinky toe sticks out of the right one, but that might be more of my foot being weird than the shoe.Heather Powell
Cute, not comfy
I love this shoe and everyone who saw them on my feet on the 4th of July loved them as well. I am afraid, due to having a wider foot, the toe area was not comfortable. The material wasn't overly forgiving, so even though I used a shoe stretcher on them, the material chafed. These shoes are designed for standing still or sitting, I believe. I walked the equivalent of 4 blocks in them and had open blisters on the back of my heels from the strap. I WILL wear them again, though I will apply band-aids prior. Such a fun shoe, just wish it was kinder to the feet. 8-)RoniShoeAddict
Stars and Stripes
These shoes have my heart! They are amazingly patriotic while being oh-so fashionable! I ordered my usual 6.5 but they my toes got sort of stuck under the material..they were too tight! So I quickly ordered a 7 and shipped these back with their free return label! I did try walking in them real quick and they were no problem at all. I LOVE these shoes and can't wait to wear them on Patriot's Day, President's Day, Veteran's Day (I'm one too!), and of course Independence Day!...and probably random days in between because they are awesome!Jody Jones
Rad!
This shoe rocks! I get so many compliments everytime i wear it. LOVE! Thanks for carrying such a huge selection of JC. 10 pair and counting.Julie
Stars And Stripes
Lovely shoe, and very comfortable, I wore them for several hours at IMATS, before they were even broken in and my feet didn't hurt at all at the end of the day. I always get tons of complements on them every time I wear them. I totally love, but my main problem is that the dye from the red stripes smudges over onto the white stripes on my inner heels when I walk. Although it comes off easily with a bleach pen, I'm disappointed it would do this in the first place, and wouldn't expect that from JC shoes. The straps that cover the toes might also be a little uncomfortable for those with wide feet. Overall, these are beautiful shoes and I really like them, but I wouldn't particularly want a second pair.SOZ
NICE BUT NARROW
Obviously super rad. I get compliments from stylish and non-stylish people alike in this shoe. I am always a size 6, no questions asked, but this shoe is so goddamn narrow! It pinches my toes and makes an otherwise extremely comfortable shoe.. uncomfortable. I'm going to have my cobbler stretch out the toe part, but ladies just beware.CUTTLE

Too narrow!
I bought this shoe in an effort to be more drag-queen-like. I already have enough wigs and fake eyelashes, after all. It is GORGEOUS. The colors are even more vibrant in person. BUT! The shoe is too narrow for my foot. It's probably an average width, but my foot is above average. One of my friends suggested that if I REALLY wanted to be drag-queen-like, I would modify my foot to fit this shoe. They're beautiful, but not THAT beautiful. Anyway, I love them and I'm sad I couldn't wear them.Becky
Pin Up fab!
I've swooned over these ones since I first saw them. Love the Bettie Page style. These run narrow and true to size.Alexis
A beautiful flashback to the 50s
Sky blue with tiny white polka dots, a thin strap around the ankle, open toe, pump. Extremely comfortable for being so high. I feel as though I am a person from the 50s in them, as it is a classic style with a modern twist (very Jeffrey Campbell). This was my 6th pair of shoes from JC and I am very happy with my purchase.Nayik
Amazing!!
These shoes are a dream! So eye candy and comfortable! I feel like Barbie with them. I'm a size 6 and they fit perfectly, a little narrow but I have a wide feet. I'm totally lusting for the blue ones!
