text: They look great.  No binding around the ankles.  Very comfortable.  Would've been nice to have some arch support with the platform because the shoes do not bend as you walk, the soles don't flex, however the footbed is very soft.  As I write this I'm a bit indecisive about keeping them for the no-flexibility reason...but the shoes look so-oooo good and the camel color is awesome!  I am so torn...
