Such FUN shoes. I've already received several compliments in the cheerful gingham pattern. I am a black and white fan and nabbed these for their playful design. No regrets there! They go with everything. The heel is sturdy and the toe strap just the right width for my medium/regular size 8.5 foot. They were comfortable and the block heel makes a day of height much easier for me. I would buy these again in a heart beat.
