"I am loving the t-strap trend, and these looked like they would be great work shoes, but the material (even in the black I ordered) looked strange. Sort of a treated, almost "worn," look, that would have looked strange with my conservative, clean-line work clothes. Also, I run between a 5.5 and a 6 and the 6 was huge on me. I returned them and my t-strap search continues."
