These, like all the Portlandia shoes I own, are high quality and feel good on the foot. They could use a bit more padding in the sole (this brand's weakness is that they don't cushion the sole as much as I'd like.) These run at least a full size smaller & narrower than the Portlandia Seattle Sling, so I had to exhange the ones I ordered for a larger & wider size--twice! They are cute on the foot and work with pants, jeans, or casual skirts. I'm considering getting another pair in a different color.
