I just received this product in the mail. They look quite slick and they feel quite comfortable. Despite their romanticized name, I was disappointed to discover they were MADE IN CHINA. They are well crafted and, hopefully, they will be durable! My only complaint about them is SIZING. IF YOU PLAN TO BUY A PAIR, GET AN EXTRA SIZE (if you wear a 7, buy an 8) OR YOU WILL BE VERY BUMMED OUT! Apparently, a Chinese Size 11 is a Western Size 12 (as in my case)!
