I like the feather detail on these shoes--I think it's unique and cute. Unfortunately, these shoes are incredibly wide. I must acknowledge that I have a narrow foot and usually experience gaping on the sides of the shoes in this style. These shoes didn't do that because my foot didn't seem to make contact with the sides of the shoe at all; my foot was just floating in the middle of the shoe like it was floating in the ocean far from land. These have got to be some of the widest shoes I've ever encountered.
