beautiful/sexy shoe! i figured for $22 i cannot lose, and i was right! it has character this shoe... when you walk, the tassels bob up and down. hard not to stare at your feet! i am picky about peep toes... can't stand too much toe cleavage. this shoe only reveals the tip of your pretty little toes. would not walk in them for more than an evening's worth (about 2 hours), because it has a high heel. i teeter between a 5 1/2 and 6 for heels/booties and these were only avail in a 6... could have been a half of a half sz smaller, but the way the boot hugs your ankle and contours the arch of your foot feels sturdy. i was truly amazed at the delicate details and clean craftsmanship...the detail on the back of the shoe is very sexy! i own about 150 pairs of shoes (caught shoe fever a long time ago - there is no cure), and this one is up in the top 25! =)
