I find it hard to find shoes that are cute, comfortable for those of us who wear wide sizes and versatile. I love these as casual shoes- there's lots of colors in the fabric so it pairs well with many different casual outfits. The tassel gives it sort of a vintage-y feel- I get lots of compliments on them. There is support to the instep of the shoe making it a nice cross between a sneaker and a ballet flat. I wear them without socks but they also work well with them. I wear a 10W and these were true to size.
