These booties really are outstanding quality - no surprise since they are Kenneth Cole.

There is simply no misunderstanding the distinct feel and look of quality - I have a lot of shoes, and I have been a keen observer of shoes my whole life, even to the point that I will make something of a judgement about a person based on their shoes. Its probably not fair, and its only a surface judgement, but I find that shoe choice can generally tell you something about a person.  Even at a distance, I believe it is easy to tell which ones are simply made, and those that are crafted.

These are in no mans land between being made and crafted, but closer to a crafted result than a made product.  The quality of the materials used, and the construction methods lets you settle into a comfortable relationship with the confidence that these will be a desired companion for many years.

The uppers have a gorgeous texture and they meet with the white sole wall in a bold fashion which yields an unmistakable draw for the eyes of those who observe you wearing them.

The style is a cut above casual, yet never a stranger paired with the finest denim for a look that sets you apart.

My only slight dislike is that these are a bit snug for my liking, but I am hoping in time they loosen up - but apart from that I love them.
