There were a few annoyances that I had - the side zipper pockets do not zip all of the way down like it shows in the photo being as they are sewn half way down the zipper to prevent it from going further. The pockets really aren't deep enough to hold much of anything (which is the main reason that I purchased them in the first place)... The laces are horrible so I will be replacing them and there is virtually no arch support at all within the boot. I did invest in some gel arches to make them bearable. They do look cute though and go quite well with many of my outfits. They have the feel of a $20 shoe much more than a $40 one...
