I first got the black ones and really loved how they looked and felt. They're classy and unexpectedly comfortable, running true to size. I then ordered the leopard patent/red trim and they're a total miss for me -- instead of soft, comfortable leather shoes they feel like plastic toy Cinderella slippers. The patent 'leather' part on these shoes is not leather and they feel incredibly stiff. Couldn't get them off fast enough. I truly recommend the leather version(s) of these shoes though.
