I've heard good things about this brand, so I went ahead and purchased me two pair of these, one in burgundy and another in banana bread. The colors are gorgeous, both of them. The upper leather is of great quality. Shoes feel sturdy which to me that's a good thing....BUT...they are so very very very carelesly put together! You see glue everywhere, the seems you see in the outside are FELT in the inside and by walking three blocks with the burgundy ones, gave me some horrendous blisters, on my next to pinky toes, on my big toes (sides), under my outter ankles and the back of my ankles. Honestly, I'm dissapointed. For the price I paid I guess I better shut up, but if the maker is going to BOTHER in using good leather and beautiful colors, might as well have a little bit of delicacy specially into making shoes for women. I guess I will have to use them because ain't throwing them away, but I'm certainly VERY SORRY I wasted my money on these.
