text: I like these shoes, they definitely run small so size up, as per the other reviews they do look more synthetic than the picture had me believe, but the colors are pretty much the same. They are not built for distance, I work in the middle of a city and I have to walk everywhere and these shoes, unfortunately, caused quite the suffering on the backs of my ankles. Super cute for a lazy stroll or from door to cab to dinner to cab back to door.
