I picked these to be the Bridesmaid's Shoes at my friend's wedding last fall. They are so cute and we were all very comfortable. The elastic straps are so cute, but they are more than just good LOOKING. These shoes don't slip off my feet no matter how we danced the night away, and I've had some twisted ankles before when my shoe went one way....and the rest of me went the other way. These are comfortable and secure. I was able to wear some cushioned insoles as well and they stayed in place! These are my favorite flats now and I wear them often!
