awesome, funky, cool.  FLY shoes are so darn off-beat and fun!  i recommend buying bigger if you are one of those people who wears a half-size and verges on the bigger size occasionally.  i am an 8 1/2 and i think the size 39, US 8 is a tad snug.

leather is soft, but it does squish a little too tightly on the top of my foot right at about the middle fo the shoe.  but the leather is so soft, i pulled at it some by hand, and and it's stretching out some.

if you hesitate to pay this much for shoes, put it in your cart and just watch it for a few weeks on amazon.  it does go on sale!

4 stars instead of 5, only because of the extra-snug fit.
