Too Large
" Very comfortable and versatile but I consider these to run a full size too large. Had to exchange.

Comfy and Cute!
" These are adorable! I bought them in blue a few months back and am excited to see they are still available in other colors. I can wear these all day. They look fantastic with capris and I'm hoping to get another month out of wearing them with jeans even in the fall.

Fail!
" Oh these were the perfect summer shoe addition to my wardrobe! Unfortunately, they only lasted about a month before the side strap separated from the shoe. It looks like it came unglued. So disappointed but not worth raising a fuss over. That's what I get for trying a brand I wasn't familiar with.

Wanted to love them
" I have a different pair of Rocket Dog Marilyns flats that have broken in very nicely but these are taking a while. The pale pink is adorable but the fabric is just a little too stiff. I'm going to keep working on them though.

Great Color Block Pump
" I couldn't decide which color to get so I chose the more neutral black/grey combination. I really like this pair of shoes. The heel is the perfect height for a dress or for pants. They are relatively comfortable although I haven't done a lot of walking in them yet. My only complaint is that they pinch the sides of my toes slightly. I have a feeling they will stretch just a little.

Excellent large clutch
" I've recently discovered Urban Expressions and I have to say that I'm in love. They are definitely making large clutches fashionable (and vegan friendly) again. I'm really glad that DSW carries them at such reasonable prices. This particular bag is roomy and casual but not too casual. Definitely a dress-up/dress-down kind of clutch. There's room inside for everything except the kitchen sink. The only reason why it didn't get 5 stars is because I'm not sold on the gold zipper and hardware yet. I have to give it some play time to see if it tarnishes or if it holds up. Overall a quality bag and winning purchase.

A great spring look
" The color and pattern on this shoe is ideal for cute spring and summer attire. Unisa makes a relatively comfortable shoe for the height. The fabric is firm and reinforced and the heel is sturdy indicating that this will last through more than one season. I only have one complaint. The shoe is a little long and does the "flop flop" sandal motion and sound. Going to a smaller size would make it uncomfortable. If they had made the sling strap adjustable this problem would be easy to remedy. I kept these sandals because the color and pattern is great but they won't get much street time because of the flip and the flop.

" This shoe is adorable! Very sturdy. Not too tall. Roomy enough for a trouser sock (which you'll be thankful for after along day because they are a wee bit stiff). I get a lot of compliments when I wear these shoes. The quality is also great. I've put a lot of wear time in on them and they still look brand new. My favorite look with these shoes is a patterned trouser sock and skinny jeans. Super cute!

LOVE this pump!
" I wanted to give these shoes some street time before rating them. They passed the test with flying colors! (Actually, with beautiful ruby, deep red flying colors :-) The fit is perfect. But I've come to expect that from the Cecelius style pumps. I was concerned the patent leather would feel stiff but they fairly pliable and comfortable. I can wear these all day at work without any issues. The heel height is perfect and the point is most excellent. I will point out that these are NOT a cherry red. They are definitely a darker red with more than one shade. It's pretty unique. Overall, I would make my friends buy these but then I wouldn't be the only one sporting this awesome pair!

Sturdy height and vintage inspired look

" My first thought when I unboxed these shoes was that the pink was decidedly a dusky pink and not as vibrant as I expected. That concern melted as soon as I put them on. Fantastic height, comfortable strap, just the right amount of give to them and a vintage inspired look that will look adorable with spring dresses. I can't wait for the weather to clear!

They grew on me

" I caved and tried the whole "boot folded over" look. They are more casual looking than I had anticipated from the pictures. One of the snaps keeps coming undone and that's kinda irritating. And they are a tight squeeze to get my foot through the opening. They aren't wide and roomy once you finally pull them on either. I can get away with a thin trouser sock but that's about it. The upside is that the leather broke in and they fit rather comfortably now. The heel and sole are sturdy. They look great with leggings or skinny jeans. There's not a lot of room to tuck in a full pant leg other than that. Overall, I like the boots but with the hassle to break them in I probably wouldn't recommend them.

Bad reviews? Let's re-evaluate
" Yes, they have very flat soles with little arch support. Yes, they are very slouchy. Yes, they are almost too roomy. But I really think that they are SUPPOSED to be like that. It's kind of a Robin-Hood-peasant boot. I happen to love the look and the fit. They are super comfy and fantastic with leggings and a sweater dress.

Perfect House Shoe
" I bought these for my mom and she loves them. The inner fleece lining is warm and well padded. The rubber soles are perfect for avoiding slipping in your slippers. :) I know she will love them because I bought a similar pair of Minnetonka's a few years ago that are still almost like new. They hold up very well.

Toe cleavage but not trampy :)
" I needed a replacement pair of black pointy-toed flats after destroying my Mia Hepburn's in a Cleveland snowstorm. (Side note: those were the quintessential black flats and I agonize that they are no longer available.)
I do really like these shoes but could only justify a 3 star rating. They are a little loose, which is a combination of width and length. I may have ordered a half size down if it had been available. The inner sole of the shoe is a metallic, slippery material which makes for too much movement and perspiration build up. Both these issues can be fixed with a shoe insert. The suede material and bead embellishment is fetching but looks a little different than picture. On the positive side, its of good quality, has a lovely demure kitten heel and shows off cute toe cleavage which is flattering for most people. A worthwhile purchase.

Warm and sturdy
" These were my big "I want cozy feet this winter" purchase. They are wonderful! They keep my feet snug and are perfectly acceptable to wear all day. Construction appears to be durable. I don't have monster calves but they are a little bigger than some and these boots still zip up just fine. I'm very pleased with this purchase.
I've seen a few people complain about quality. Please remember people, this is faux fur. Up close it is never as flawless as the real thing. So cut the manufacturer some slack and thank them for making an affordable, adorable boot!

Almost a home run
" I adore the black and white pattern on these shoes. The construction seems of reasonable quality. And they are even sturdy for the height. The downfall to these shoes is the length. They are simply too long. I would order a size smaller, however, I'm fairly certain they would then be too narrow and pinch my foot. A second thought I had would be to add extra holes in the strap so I could make them tighter. Unfortunately that won't work either because the strap gets wider and wouldn't fit into the buckle that far down. I'm going to hang onto them and hope some ball-of-the-foot inserts will help keep them from flopping around. They are probably worth the clearance price I paid but certainly nothing more than that.

Classic AND Modern
" These are an eye-catching pair of black pumps. I wanted a black work shoe with a mid-level heel and a pointy toe that had an extra oomph to it. These fit the bill! The heel is perfect for wearing all day. The quality and materials are excellent. I get a lot of compliments on the brushed metal buckle. I'm not typically a buckle type of gal but it's really a modern version of a buckle. These are NOT my grandmother's shoes. :)
The only downfall is that they seem to run slightly narrow around the ball of the foot and toes. I have a feeling that the leather will stretch to fit my foot a little better after a few wears so its not enough to deter me from leaving a negative review. However, the Cecelius shoes by Jones New York did have a roomier and more comfortable feel to them. I just want to point that out to anyone who might be looking for a shoe that's not as narrow.

Summery and stylish
" I bought this beautiful sandal in brown. I was worried about finding something to wear with them but they were so comfortable that I couldn't resist buying them. The beads and baubles make a quiet clinking sound that isn't overkill. I ended up wearing these all summer long with capris. SO cute!

So cute!
" Adorable! Very cute and comfortable. I was nervous about the suede wearing out quickly but they have been very durable. Me Too has turned out to be a brand that I turn to for continuous comfort and a cute style.
