text: I like the shoes. It's simple and pretty enough to go casual or with a cute dress for the summer.  After reading the other reviews I was cautious about the slippery sole. But just like all new leather shoes, you have to scratch it first to give it some grip.<br />That being said, I was not happy with the quality of the straps.  The T strip and the straps around the ankles were soft (maybe for a good reason) and look worn.  After a week of wearing by an accident I stepped on one shoe and broke the T-strap instantly. Now I have to figure out how to fix it!
