I've been thinking about these shoes for while now and decided to ahead and buy them in black. I'm so glad I did. They are worth every penny. They look and feel great. I wear 6 1/2 and 6 1/2 in these shoes fit perfectly. I even went ahead and ordered them in brown. They are NOT all day walking shoes but are GOOD for going out to lunch and a movie. The straps feel good and soft. Overall great shoe:)
