One day I came across these shoes for $40, so I said, "Why not?" I wasn't sure about the mustard color, but as it turns out, they go with more things in my wardrobe than I ever thought they would.

I love the design on these shoes. They kind of remind me of fish scales, and that's not something one usually finds on athletic shoes! I'm not a fan of suede, but I sprayed some Kiwi fabric protector on them, so maybe they'll stay looking good for a bit longer. BTW, the Kiwi stuff didn't discolor the shoes one bit.

The only problem is, they run somewhat large. I have a very narrow foot, and in order to get these things tight enough, I have to put two inserts, plus my orthotics, plus wear heavy socks. I wish the 7 would have worked, but it would have been too short. If you're reading this, Ariat, I can guarantee you that I'm not the only person in the world who has narrow feet, so please make some of your shoes in a narrow size. I guarantee you that you'll probably sell out quickly.
