I bought these over the Holidays in Burlington, Vermont. I had never seen the brand before. I live in Phoenix. I am wearing these so much because they are very comfortable but I bought them because they were so cute. I have them in red and even guy friends compliment me on these. They look great with blue jeans and no socks. I am a hiker and I beat up my feet but wearing these shoes is like a spa day for my achy toes. I would highly recommend these for anyone young and old. And did I mention that they are realy cute.
