text: I purchased these for a costume, and since I am in-between sizes at a 6.5, I hoped that they were going to fit. They didn’t, but I got them far enough in advance that I can easily return them for the appropriate size, if I choose to do so. I purchased the Black ones, for reference. These have a much more inflexible feel to them than some similar shoes I purchased, and they actually seem like they could last a bit more strenuous activity and walking.<br /><br />They are about 9.5” long, from heel to toe and 3 3/7” wide along the farthest part of where the toes go.<br /><br />PROS:<br />-Cheap, but they have a nice heft to them that suggests they could last a little while.<br />-Fast shipping.<br />-Seems to fit a little on the smaller side.<br />-True to color.<br />-Little to no odor.<br />-I liked that the shoe was entirely black/gray, unlike a lot of the other shoes offered.<br />-These shoes have a metal buckle, so you can actually tighten them. (unlike a similar pair I purchased)<br />-The quality seems to be pretty good, all things considered.<br /><br />CONS:<br />-The acquire lint and dust very quickly.<br />-To go from a size 5 to size 7, there’s price jump of about $6 which seems a little ridiculous.<br />-Because they are a little sturdier, the shoes have little to no give. (However, I think that means they will stand up better to wear.)
