Great shoe, just as pictured. Perforated cloth sides. Ordered my usual size, fit well. Only thing I am not crazy about is the heel of the shoe - it has no stiff backing support so trying to get the heel over my ankle without it buckling is difficult. Minor inconvenience only. I changed out the shoelaces for tan leather ones, and it looks very cute. It is comfortable to wear all day, but does lack some of the cushy support I've gotten used to with my Clark boots. That said, I would buy again.
