These are really cute shoes and comfortable too. The high quality is recognizable upon opening the box and smelling the "new leather" scent that is rare these days. Ever since I saw Michael Jackson's Blood on The Dance Floor video, featuring a zebra print upholstered chair, I have wanted to collect and wear more zebra print. You really can't go wrong with classic animal prints because they are always in style. Leopard is hugely popular for example, and I would venture to say that recently zebra prints are experiencing a real surge in poularity. I treat zebra print as a neutral and it works wonderfully with many things. I love black and white because it's timeless and it looks good on everyone. Probably because I love Michael Jackson's song Black Or White, too, that could have a lot to do with my attraction to black and white classic dressing. I'm definitely loving the compliments that I get on these shoes.
