You get what you pay for, most of the time. This is one of those times. I can't complain too much as I wasn't expecting too much. The shoes are okay, nothing I want to wear long-term, but aesthetically they are cute, look like Toms of lower quality. But if you can't justify shelling out for Toms, these are an okay stand-in as long as you don't plan to wear them for too much walking.
