Lets start with why I love these... they're gorgeous, the quality is good, they don't slide on the floor, and the caramel color is unlike anything Ive seen. It has almost a shimmer to it.

But there are unexpected problems that are why Im sending them back:
1) lets start with the shimmer. Its a love hate. Love because its gorgeous. Hate because it gives the shoes a blue cast in bright sunlight. Think pearly iridecent just not in your face. I was trying to buy a neutral shoe. But I also love the color. Just not what I was trying to buy right now.
2) padding: I would rather have no padding than padding that doesnt work with my foot. The pad thats supposed to be for the ball of my foot is at an odd and uncomfortable spot for me. And because its not padding throughout, its a little bubble of uncomfortable.
3) there is a bit of a small wedge hidden in the shoe. Take a close look at the pictures and yourll see it. Maybe a half inch when you add the tiny heel that you see on the outside but I was looking for flats. This wasn't a deal breaker but it did add to the problem with the padding.
3) there is a tiny elastic gusset. Sure this means the shoe will probably fit more people BUT it will wear out faster than leather and it turns the right shoe into a flip flop for me (my right foot is slightly smaller than my left.) At the time I purchased this it wasn't mentioned in the description and isn't something youll notice in the pictures unless you are looking for it.

These are a SLIM shoe. I expected this going in but Im going to note it for people who don't wear a lot of pointed toe dress flats. I typically wear an M width but in certain styles its a bit loose for me. I can not wear a W width shoe ever. This shoe in a M fits closer to a N. BUT its also leather which means they should stretch a bit on wearing them and conform a bit to your foot... if you can tolerate them for a day. Width was exactly as I expected it but if you usually wear round toes shoes, you might want to take that into consideration.

So ... sadly they are going back. One of the surprises above wouldnt have caused me to send them back (maybe the padding) but all three is just too much. The padding issue though will keep me from buying this style in the future. Honestly I was really hopeful I would love this shoe because there are so many colors!

I have included photos though. No color correction done and you can really see how much the color of the caramel shoe changes with the change in the lighting and has a bluer cast to them with sunlight.
