The shoes don't have eyelets so the low quality faux leather tears when you lace them up (if you aren't extra careful)  and they have very little padding for you feet. There is no rubber on the soles so you are essentially walking on plastic and it makes a clopping noise wherever you go, and they slip easily. However, they are very pretty and go with almost anything, so they are a good pair of backup shoes or inexpensive, everyday, lace-ups. They look just like the picture.
