Purchased these shoes for my 19 y/o daughter's birthday. She says they are soooo comfortable. They have a shimmer to the color, so they aren't so plain like some black shoes. We had to order a size down from what she usually wears. The size 10 were way too big, but sent them back and ordered the 9 which fit perfectly. Very reasonably priced for a shoe she will wear with jeans, casual dress or black pants.
