text: The shoes are really cute, but after wearing them for a few weeks, their color has lost its vibrancy.  The shoes needed to be broken in.  I did have the start of blisters after the first few hours of wear, but the backs loosened up.  They are still cute even though they look beat up after a few weeks of moderate wear.  I  had expected them to be more durable like a similar pair of Keens I've had for the last few years and am disappointed.
