When I first saw these they were listed at $26.99 - $29.99 depending on color.  The other night I saw they'd come down to $14.99 so I jumped on them, buying them in black, blue, and patent pink.  They arrived today, and I was excited... until I unboxed them.  They're described as synthetic, and they certainly are!  At that price, I wasn't expecting real leather, obviously, but I also wasn't expecting them to feel almost as thin as paper.  It's kinda weird, actually.  Like, plastic-y paper or paper-y plastic, I'm not sure.  The price and the quality would've been acceptable when I was 15, but as a grown up I find these disappointing.  Then again, I could just wear them as work shoes until they fall apart since I won't be bummed when they do.  Other things to consider, is these definitely run big width-wise, which I'm ok with since I have slightly wide feet, but if you have narrow feet they'll be swimming in these.  I haven't worn them for any amount of time so I can't attest as to their comfortability, but I can say that they do have some cushioning in the footbed.  No real arch support though.  The black (non-patent) is definitely black, and the blue is definitely dark, just as shown.  The pink patent is more of a pastel peach color.  It's pretty and of the three I ordered I like that pair the best.

Overall, I'm just not sure if I'm keeping them.  If anything, I'll return the black and blue ones and keep the pink (peach, really) patent ones as work shoes.  If you're thinking of these for a teenager, they'd be an ok choice depending on the price they're asking for them at the time.  But definitely don't pay over 20 bucks.
