"I love the oxford flat trend because with my high arches and tiny feet I tend to walk right out of a pair of ballet flats... Overall I think these are a win for me. These shoes look cute but not overly so in photos, but in person, with the ribbon laces they verge into overly cutesy and whimsical territory. I was looking for a good balance between sweetly feminine and menswear inspired styling. I'll probably go out and find some black rope laces to tone down the cuteness. I will probably also find some inserts to provide a little more support. Width wise they fit fine but I ordered a 5.5 and these feel like a 6 in length on me."
