These are lovely sandals, with beautiful details and a very sexy look. They appear to be very sturdy too. Can't wait for summer so I can wear them out! They fit as expected (I ordered a size 6 in black). Studs/beads on the back of the shoe seem secure enough, though we'll probably have to be somewhat careful while wearing them. Overall a very good purchase! Oh And I also bought the "Rebel" model in champagne, it's very similar to the "Gangster" and is gosgeous too.
