I was attracted to these shoes by their fringe detailing. I thought it was a nice touch on the classic black flat. I didn't expect them to be perfect as the price was practically a steal. Amazon probably paid their worth in shipping alone. Unfortunately these have to go back. I thought maybe the poor ratings and low price were due to low comfort level, but that isn't it for me. I had no trouble with them digging into my heels as I wore them around the apartment. Instead, they were cramped at the toe. I'm a reliable 6.5 and these were just too small, closer to a 6 honestly. I won't bother exchanging them as the sole is far too thin and the construction is poor. These are simply cheap shoes with an attractive design. If you're just looking for cute throw-away shoes and you don't need them to last more than a month, these might be for you in the right size. I prefer quality and sustainability.
