Love the way these shoes look although sizing is weird if you wear an 8 1/2 definitely buy a 9 since they don't make them in 8 1/2. The straps that go around the top of the ankle are obviously made for someone who has huge ankles because even on the last hole they were way to loose so I had to do with out the holes and pull it through and tuck the straps in to not hang. Other than the huge straps I loved them and got many compliments.
