I was a little hesitant about these shoes. They are cute, but maybe too cutesy was my concern. I am 28 years old and I thought maybe they might have been a little "young" for me. But I wore them first time on vacation in Miami. Let me tell you... I didn't feel young with them on. They were perfect. I got over feeling like they were marshmallowy and not age appropriate and I wore them for a night out and while everyone else was walking around in their super sexy yet uncomfortable wedges, I was happily trotting along in my uber cute wedges. I did have a small problem with the back zipper cutting into the back of my ankle but only on one and  otherwise I thought they were super comfortable on the balls of my foot, where shoes typically start hurting. These were awesome and I felt awesome in them (mostly)!
