I was in a fall wedding in which I was wearing a plum colored dress. I needed simple gold sandals that wouldn't take away from the dress but wouldn't be too plain, either. The shoes fit the bill exactly, which was especially nice given the fair price. They may have not been the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn, but they lasted for several hours without giving me any discomfort. They did not get noticeably scuffed up during the wedding, and I will definitely be wearing them again. From what I remember, shipping was prompt and packaging was more than adequate.
