text: I like these shoes quite a bit as they are comfortable for a shoe with some height though I haven't worn them extensively. The toe bed is long and I even have long toes! I suggest ordering a half size down to help accommodate. The only quibble I have with the representation of this shoe online is that it is not obvious that the 3 straps in the middle are actually grey while the rest of the shoe is darker. I like it as it adds a little funkiness, but if you are looking for a shoe that is the same color all over, this isn't it.
