text: For the price, I would rate these shoes as &#34;meh&#34;.  The look is accurate as shown in the photos, I do like what they look like.  However, the leather is somewhat thin, the tip of one toe is a little loose where the layers of the sole come together, and makes a funny snapping sound when I walk, and the soles are very thin.  I didn't get these to be all day walking around shoes, so from a comfort standpoint, they are comfortable for what I bought them for, casual shoes that look decent with shorts and are a good summer shoe to hang out with friends.  From a fit standpoint, the sole fits my foot from toe to heel, however the leather band over the top of the foot is quite small and narrow for a normal foot - I'm 5'4&#34;, average weight,  and my feet are a normal width size 8.  But it was hard to fit my foot into the shoe the entire way, so my heel hung over the back a bit, yet I had an inch of toe in front.  I was leaving on vacation the day after I got these, so I kept them and wore them regardless.  Now that I've worn them for a month, the leather is finally stretching out a bit so my foot fits further into the shoe, and the fit is improved.  Overall - I would have paid $40 and been perfectly happy, but for $70 feel like I paid a lot of money for not a lot of quality.
