I purchased the purple velvet pair of Annie Shoes (-Women's Tux Flats), and they look exactly as they did in the picture, advertised on Amazon, except for ONE thing: It was hard to tell from the under-view shot/picture advertised, but the sole of the shoe/s, just under the toe area, is covered in a black, velvety material, which I believe is meant to make the shoe more into a dancing shoe, rather than just a cute, casual one! I imagine it offers a more-slippery surface, under the toes, for sliding more-freely around a dance floor, while the heel remains sturdy (-NOT covered with the velvet) for more control (-stopping, etc).
Because I feel sort-of guilty to just wear these cute shoes walking around OUTSIDE (-where the bottom velvet area will be more-damaged), I haven't done so yet! Fortunately, I DO love to dance, so I plan to break them in on the dance floor, the next time I go dancing... but in the meantime, I've only worn them around my house... So far, they seem fairly comfortable, but I don't know -yet- how my feet would feel after a long night of dancing, or how they WOULD feel to walk around all day (-OUTSIDE-) in... There isn't an incredible amount of arch-support in these shoes or anything, but I still think they make a good purchase, for what they are!
Perhaps I'll write another review once I've had more experience with them!
