I really like the look of this shoe. Even though the buckle is plastic, if people are looking at my shoes in passing and not staring down at my feet (which some people may want others to do, I don't know!), nobody will notice. The height is awesome - not too high, not flat.

The fit isn't awesome, though. I'm usually an 8.5 regular or 8 W and the 8W is too long and ever so slightly snug. The toe box, as everyone else says, is a bit awkwardly small, so I'm ordering a 7.5 Extra Wide. I'll update the review once I see if that works out.

I would recommend checking on the return policy of the seller before buying. I have to pay return shipping for an exchange, though they'll take a return pretty much at any point (I think it's supposed to be not very used, I may be wrong). Try Hush Puppies' website - they have tons of sizes for the same price and advertise free shipping and exchanges.
