I thought I'd take another chance on ordering shoes online and am so glad I did--I love these shoes! I ordered the brown and because of the black mesh--like stockings--covering the entire shoe/heel and the velvet appliques sewn onto it throughout, I'd wear these with black dresses/outfits. I'd be afraid of it eventually developing runs like a panthyhose will, but for $40 the shoes are just adorable. The strap has 3 buttons but I don't think it's really meant to be undone, you just slip your feet in. The inside "looks" quilted--don't think it is--but I was surprised how comfortable it was to wear after a few hours. These shoes are not for dancing as the bottom is a wonderful, slightly ridged rubber sole that DOES NOT slip on tile or vinyl floors and overall feels so sturdy even with the slender heel. There's a silver key ornament dangling on 4 chain links on the back of each heel (1-1/2" total). I don't like these and you can probably take off by gently using needle-nose pliers. I'm thinking of ordering another pair just in case mine gets ruined somehow. There's also a 15% restocking fee if you return without an exchange.
