Cute, real leather shoes for under $50, WIN WIN!!  These fit basically as expected, true to size, but were just a tad bit long at the toe.  The wedge heel gives added support but still looks very feminine.  The adjustable strap is soft and supple and I was able to get it tight enough to feel secure without being uncomfortable. The buckle is covered in leather, not bare metal, so it won't interfere with whatever jewelry you wear and won't rub on your ankle. These look exactly as pictured and I'm very happy with them. They aren't a super trendy style that will be gone next season. I can see wearing these 5 years from now easily.
