text: I love these sandals. They are very versatile and can be worn with a dressy outfit or even something on the casual side. The gold accents are a nice touch. I like the shiny patent leather look, but since it is also on the wedge part, it makes it very easy to scuff the sides. The front part is a little tight, but my feet are slightly wide for my size. It did take a little bit to break in since the patent leather makes the material rigid and it rubs against the top of the toes rather harshly.
