text: As one reviewer said, they are a little old lady like but if you got them in something other than black, you'd look more hip. As it is, I bought these as my office slippers and that is where they'll stay. I agree with what others say about being tight around the toe but I don't wear them that long so it's not an issue. Otherwise they're fun to look at and there's elastic on the cloth band around your foot so it fits well. I wanted something backless without a crazy heel and these fit the bill.
