I like this shoe style, but the blue velvet is a little cheap looking. I wanted "something blue" for my wedding and I thought these shoes would do the trick. I tried them on and didn't get the "these are the ones" feeling. So I exchanged them for the purple suede (five stars to those!) to match my bridesmaids.

Overall the shoe construction is designer quality. I purchased a size 8, and they are true to size. The heal part "hugs" around your ankle to give a snug fit, so those with rounder ankles, be wary. The toe part is narrow, but I have confidence it would flatten out over time. The good news is there's no toe clevage to speak of :) with this shoe style, I would just recommend a different color.
