Bought these for my wedding. The flowers are shabby chic, with lots of threads coming off, more than I would like, but that is easily fixed. They are also quite comfortable, although they do cut into the top of my toes a little. These shoes also run a bit big: I normally wear a size 7, but I ordered a 6.5 on the advice of several other reviews. Good thing I did, because the 6.5 was a perfect fit: size 7 would have been too big.
