cute online, not so much in person
"I usually wear 5.5, but decided to get size 6 because of some of the reviews. These shoes were big, I would have fit into my normal 5.5
The color isn't as bright as you see online, and the fabric just seems alittle cheap.
I am definitely returning these shoes. Disappointed too, because I wanted to wear yellow!"

My favorite flats
"I love these flats and the color. I bought the color in fushia. They are definitely my go to shoes for the summer because you can dress them up or down. At first they felt a little tight but after breaking them in they are very comfy now. I'm also happy because they have a bit of support in them. Also Steve Madden is one of my favorite brands."

Not for me
"Alway drop when I am walking. Not sure it's a problem of design or running large. Returned it anyway."

Cute, and comfy, but odd fit

"I tend to have to buy a half size up in Madden brand items. I saw that most people in the reviews were ordering their true size, so I went with that when I made my order. They fit well when I got them but felt a touch short in the toes, however, they also felt a touch wide in the heels, so a half size up probably would not have worked out. I think with the crochet style of the shoe they will stretch a bit over time, so I think I may add a heel catch to the back of them to help keep them from flopping off my heels. There is a bit of toe cleavage, and whatever color your toes are painted will probably show through the crochet. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase and I would buy them again, and am considering another color. For reference, I usually wear a size 8, and I have a slightly wider than average foot, with shorter toes."

Stylish & cute
"I bought the shoes in blue & they're pretty! I love the stitching with the holes since they let your feet breathe. I wish there were more colors to choose from, such as gray or pewter."

Soooo Comfy
"I had seen these shoes online and was wondering if the blue was as blue in person. I found them in store and the royal blue color was dead on. Perfect for Dodger games! I bought them and am so comfy wearing them to work on casual Fridays! Also purchased in the fuschia color. Love these! :)"

So beautiful!
"I've been eyeing these online for weeks, and I wanted the nude color but they ran out of my size :( But today I dropped in to the actual store and I found these in a really pretty yellow! They are SO cute! They're not available in this color online, either, so I'm glad I went to the store.
Other reviewers mentioned having issues with sizing - I got mine in my regular size, and they fit perfectly. I just got them a few hours ago so I haven't worn them around yet, but they seem really comfortable, and I've got the type of feet that have problems with flats almost right away, but I tried them on and they felt great!
The best part about this shoe is that it has my name on it - Helena! I guess it was meant to be (:"

Beautifully crafted shoes!
"These shoes are like a piece of art--from the beautiful woven pattern to the lovely flowered soles. I like that they are fabric instead of leather The sole is nicely padded. My foot is on the wide side, but these fit fine and I think they will get even more comfortable with time. I'll wear these with almost everything -- cute with jeans, capris, skirts and dresses! Love the fuschia!"

"I ended up returning these shoes because they just weren't for me. I wear between a 9.5 (most shoes) and 10. In the 9.5, they were short but wide and pushed on my toes oddly. At a 10, they were just too big and I got toe cleavage that I never like to see. The fuscia color was fab though, and I love the woven idea, but for me, these were a no go because of fit. It also seemed to rub oddly on my toes in a way that with longer wear would probably cause some issues, but like I said, I returned them so I can't be too sure."

Woven Wonder
"Love this flat! It is very soft and has great cushion on the bottom unlike many sm shoes. I love the design and open weave of the shoe and it doesn't look like an old lady woven shoe. Very worth it. I'm curious to see how long they last - and the sole bottom seems to be covered in fabric? So we will see how well they hold up."

LOVE these shoes
"I got these in yellow at the DSW store. I ABSOLUTELY love these shoes. They fit me perfectly and are so airy and breathable. My feet get very hot in the summer so I was so excited to find a cute and fun shoe that is PERFECT for the summer!!! I love them so much that I went online to see if they would have another yellow or red shoe but they dont have these color options available online. Geuss I'll head back to the store and probably end out with a couple at that rate ;)"

"These are very comfy, although it took a day of wearing them before they felt great. They do stretch out a bit, but with my slightly wide feet, this was perfect for me. I like them so much I got them in 2 colors!"
