These shoes are really cute and add a bit of "bling" to any outfit. They are also unique, which I like. I thought I would be able to wear them with skirts, but the strap that connects to the jeweled part is a little thick, in my opinion. It's not very feminine. It would've been better if it was a thin strap like the strap that goes around the ankle. Not enough of a ding to send them back, though. I just wear them with pants. They do run a bit on the small side. I am a true 9.5, but the 10s fit me perfectly. No extra room.
