text: Note: I ended up returning these because I found a better quality / more attractive pair on sale, so this review is only from a couple hours of trying on / staring at these shoes.<br /><br />These actually look decent for the price, but are not leather, and don't feel like they'd break in easily or nicely the way leather does. No way would I be able to wear these around all day either. I got a 6.5 and I'm almost always a 6.5, and the footbed was the right length, but even on the tightest hole (I'm blushing typing that) they felt loose / wide. Combine that fit with the synthetic materials and I think you might run the risk of blisters.<br /><br />In terms of appearance, these looked HEINOUS on me, but I have pin feet and very athletic calves / thighs, so I think the style just isn't dainty enough to slim me down. Maybe black would have been better but I liked the white. They just looked like magnets on my feet.<br /><br />Still, I could have made these work if they'd looked better on me, so that merits a star.
