I purchased these despite the reviews associated with this style (I actually think they are for another shoe.) I was pleasantly surprised when they arrived and were just as cute as I had hoped. I am writing this review without wearing the shoes for a long period of time. Based on their appearance I give them an A+, the nude color is just as pictured and they seem well made (no fraying on the woven parts or glue showing on seams.) I love the style enough to keep them regardless of their comfort level. I own two other Naughty Monkey shoes and they only cause pain on the ball of the foot where more padding is needed, so I assume these shoes will be the same and any minor discomfort after a few hours can be resolved by a foot petal. Looking forward to wearing these with my spring and summer dresses!
