This shoe is beautiful.  The purple suade is very nice and exactly as pictured.  However, I could not wear the shoe because the sole is hard and does not bend at all.  It's my foot problem not the shoe.  I gave the shoes to a friend and she was able to get the shoe on with no problem.  She saysthey are extremely comfortable.  Wish I had known the sole doesn't flex or bend, I didn't see that stated in the advertisement.
