text: I really like these shoes!  They are very cute and go well with rockabilly/pinup style outfits.  The pink is a perfect baby pink, and the shoes aren't super shiny or cheap looking.  They don't have any padding, but they're pretty comfortable to wear for a couple of hours.  I wouldn't walk any longer than that in these, unless there were lots of chances to sit and rest my feet for a bit.  Notice the buckle is not an actual buckle, but a hook and eye closure.  I notice people don't seem to like that, but I find it very secure.  They came quite a bit quicker than the expected delivery date, so that was a nice surprise.  The one thing that I'll mention is that these had a STRONG chemical odor when they first arrived.  I left them on my patio to air out for 2 days and nights, but the smell was still there.  Things like that don't bother me too much, so I still wear them, but I thought it was worth noting for those with sensitive noses.
