I bought these shoes after owning a pair of boots made by Portlandia. I love the style of their shoes plus the price range they offer for a size 13 in womens. I needed a pair of flats that I could wear for work in a professional office and also throw on a pair of jeans and head out to dinner. These seemed to fit the bill exactly. When I got the shoes I was thrilled that they looked just as good in person as online. I put on the shoes and the fit was exactly how I wanted and they felt good. After 20 minutes I was dying to take the shoes off because they were hurting. The backs of the shoes are elastic and were rubbing so hard it was painful. It took a few wears to stretch them out for a comfrotable fit, but now they are broken in they are perfect. I wear them at least 4 days a week and would recommend them. I did take one star away due to the heel discomfort but am glad I gave them a chance.
