I never even allowed peacock jewelry in the house. Thats how scared I was of having peacock anything and the bad luck it supposedly brings. Well, I looked at this shoe, from its heel to the double bubble ankle straps to the beauty and vivid colors of design - I was in. ( and have bought at least 4 other slippers from same vendor). One warning: If your shoe size has an upper and lower range - say, 8 to 8.5 , order the higher number. Maybe its my shoeless summers, but I need a little help with my boxlike feet. They feel good in these shoes .
