I got these for my girlfriend and she LOVED THEM. I got major, major boyfriend points. Throw in the rebate since it was a gold box offer -- can't really lose. I got the size 35 for her (she's a size 5 in US terms) and they were perfect. She gets complimented on them by envious female co-workers. They are doubly envious when she tells them they're from her boyfriend. And that, really, is the goal of any gift you can get a woman.
