Really good looking and sturdy shoe. I especially like the "V" shaped cut that modernizes the look of an otherwise basic flat. As other reviewers mentioned, the shoes do feel a little stiff at first but it does loosen up after some time (so I wouldn't necessarily recommend sizing up unless your feet do feel very snug). My only gripe is that the bottom is a little slippery, but I may get one of those stick-on bottoms to fix that problem. Otherwise, they're a great pair of flats to have in your closet.
