i had such high expectations and wanted to like these, but they are a serious disappointment. they are very rubbery and plasticy and they smell terrible. when i tried them on they rubbed in the back and the toe box is not very high at all so your big toe pops up. they are not $30 cute, maybe if i had only paid $15 i might keep them, but they are going back as soon as i can box them back up. (i find it interesting that they come up when you search for leather ballet flats and they are so clearly not leather!)
