These LOOK great (hence three stars), but they feel really cheap, plus the grey coating/color chipped off near the toe the first time I wore them. I like that the heel is hidden though. I wear a 9.5 or 10 usually, so I got these in a 10. They're too big. Even with thick socks, my feet slide around in them, so I just wear them for short excursions. Even in a smaller size, I don't think they would be more comfortable. I definitely can't wear them for more then a couple hours at a time. Still, they're super cute and I get compliments whenever I wear them.
