These shoes take me back to my "school days" where I have beautiful memories. One time, my shoes got wet in the rain on the way to school and my teacher had me to remove my socks and shoes until they dried before I went home. I walked around school all day in my bare feet. We laughed about it, but everyone else was in bare feet too because their shoes got wet. I simply LOVE these shoes and have the perfect outfit to go with them.
