Style
I am really impressed by the brand's commitment to natural beauty. A while ago I got rid of thousands of pounds worth of product because I was concerned by the health implications and ultimately thought I deserved better. With a cute, tongue-in-cheek and slightly girly but minimalist brand image - it's playful and seems refreshing.

Price
The typical price is £795 for satin versions and that does not change regardless of the heel height option you select. This is quite nice as it sets a level playing field to suit your personal comfort level. The pair that I have come at a slight premium, I think due to the added pizzazz. The glitter shoes, I’ve featured are £815 and whilst, they aren’t cheap - they aren’t the most expensive pair of designer shoes out there. Overall for the craftsmanship, quality and longevity due to the classic design. I’d say these are fairly priced. Manolo Blahnik does not have to add these to any seasonal sale because they are so classic. BUT if you aren’t willing to pay full-price, definitely look to pre-loved sites but to be honest, nothing is going to beat unboxing a fresh pair meant just for you!

Sizing
I'd say these shoes come up a little big. They are roomy and comfortable. For this reason, I advise to go half a size down on this pair. Even so, as they run a little big you should still find them snug as well as comfortable. Unlike some heels or shoes where you feel you have to suffer through to break them in, the Hangisi heels should be good-to-go first-time. They don't run true to size which could cause some issues when purchasing online.

Comfort
As heels go, these are very comfortable. I am not saying run a marathon but these would be fine to wear for a number of hours at a wedding or almost all day. Sure, they may eventually twinge-they are heels! But in comparison to some of our other most-loved torture devices *cough* Louboutin *cough* - these are a treat! Very wearable indeed. I opted for the highest heel height at 105mm and have zero regrets even when it comes to comfort.

Versatility
Fancy brunch? Elegant Wedding? Date-Night Dinner? Work Event? These oughta do! They aren't incredibly versatile for every occasion obviously but they can easily be dressed up or down, particularly the satin versions. This makes them pretty versatile in my opinion. They tend to draw attention so if you're looking to go unnoticed, these aren't the ones to wear. As I have the gold glitter fabric pair, I think I am marginally more limited but an outfit with the right colours and details can still achieve a great look for a more casual lunch in a nice restaurant or bar to an all-out do.
