These shoes are not only cute but they are very comfortable shoes!!! I love these shoes. They are true to size for a normal size foot. If you have a wide foot these will not fit you very well. The red is really red not red-orange like a lot of other shoes. I own 4 pairs of sketchers now and plan to buy more. I can wear light weight socks or nylons with them. The ribbon is a stretch ribbon encase you have a high instep. My feet are flat without any arches in them so comfortable shoes are important. I'm planning on wearing them to Church on Sunday! Thanks for a great product!
