The shoes are very cute (I have the Natural colour) and the insoles are comfy. I think the black edging around the flower and other design elements is more pronounced and larger than in the picture, but still okay. In fact, helps the shoes go with black outfits. The sole tread is different than pictured, but I think at least as good if not better.  But there is a problem: one shoe is pretty perfect. The other shoe is a bit slack in the back part so that there is a sort of flapping gap along the inside line. I'm going to keep the shoe because it's basically comfortable--and I need them like NOW--but this is clearly a flaw and speaks to quality control. I just hope it doesn't get worse.
