i had been looking for a little black flat to go with a french-inspired outfit, and as soon as i saw these, i knew they were perfect!

the flats look even better in person: super glossy and chic.

there is only one issue: they are either super tight, run small, or they REALLY need to be broken in. the first time i tried them on, i wasn't sure i would even be able to wear them (i am a true to size 8, which is what i ordered), but i think after a couple of nights each on a shoe stretcher, the front will be less of a battle for my toes to get used to.

i like these enough (even despite the tightness) that i am thinking of getting them in brown as well.

i will post an update on this review after i have fully broken them in.
