text: These are comfortable, good looking shoes. I love the lace up front and the buckles. The heels are well balanced and they don't feel as high as they look because of the small platform under the toe part.<br />I don't like is how the material is plastic looking. It has a shine and smells just like plastic. I had to keep them in the box in my closet so they wouldn't make my other shoes smell bad. I ended up airing them out outside for a couple days and that seemed to help a bit.<br />I only wore these shoes once because they look very cheap
