I've seen this style around, and I've tried on a few different brands, including cheaper knockoffs. Steve Maddens are by far the most comfortable in this style. They are true to size, the color is hot (I purchased Berry Suede, 7.5), and they are amazingly comfortable. I have a narrow foot, but didn't experience the "wideness" that I've read in other reviews. I may put an insert in the footbed, just to keep my foot from sliding down, but otherwise, super comfortable. I am on the petite side and wow, do these make me taller! I can't wait to wear for fall, these will look great with black or grey. Perfect pop of color!
