I watched these shoes for a while, contemplating whether or not to buy them; because I tried on the Blowfish shoe that is shaped such as this style; and I didn't like it. This shoe is sooo different; it is comfortable, and the cut of the toe is more stylish, and sexy. Need cushions on the sole of the heel though 'cause they are kinda loud, and slippery. I had no problem putting them on, because my vamp, or instep is not high. This shoe is one of my top contenders, with my cowboy boots; but the cowboy boot wins hands down in comfort. Got the olive, and it is fabulous!!! Amazon.com rocks!!
