This is a great shoe. It doesn't have a lot of structural support, but if you're okay with that, and like the feeling of being barefooted, these are the shoes for you! Buy these, not Toms. They say that for every pair of shoes you buy, they donate a pair to a child in need. In actuality, you're paying for the "donation" which is fine, it's an easy way to "donate." But, if you buy these shoes, you can also buy a pair to donate and still have money left over! Don't let the big corporation pull the "shoes" over your eyes by pretending that they, in any way, are a "green" company. You can be a "green" all by yourself!I had purchase this product previously and it was perfect. This time when I purchase the show it last me only about four hours. I was flying out of the country and when I got to the airport I noticed The material of the shoe in the front Had broken. Was very upset being that I couldn't do anything. I also paid for the shipment to be Expedited immediately, Which was about $15 extra and still took five days to get to me. It was a waste of money and embarrassment!!!!The shoes were actually very pretty....the color was just right for my outfit!! I wore them to work for the first time and the covering of some sort on the bottom is coming off...no clue what it is there for because the siole under it is just fine.These shoes don't hold up very well. They are very cute but after a couple of wears when you take them off the insoles come out along with your foot. I won't buy these again.I wuld have to get the next size up I would say. To be fair I am pregnant so my feet are swelling, but I would still say they run small compared to other shoes in the same size.The shoes do not strecth. .so order one size up...other than that the laced design is cute..the shoe also fits real snug..agsin a size up won't waste your time.You get what you pay for. I like the shoes well enough but after a couple hours the tops rub on my little toes and makes blisters.The shoes are very nice. I am going to order a bigger size and different color. This particular shoe is made rather small per size.
