I am surprised this shoe is receiving high marks from others. The materials are sub par compared to other shoes I've bought in this price range. Also, I ordered the size that fits me 90% of the time, but this pair ran one size too large. The style is cute--that's why I originally chose it--but the leather on the inside sides of the shoe has no finishing touches to it. It is like the raw backside to the designed & polished visible side. The bottom half of the shoes are constructed of hard-ish plastic with embossed grooves in the sole that are purely for appearance because they provide no give or grip to any walking surface. No surprise, I do not recommend nor will I be keeping these shoes.
