"I needed a cute pair of flats that would add a little pop to my work wardrobe and these are perfect. Really cute design, but not too over the top or "young" looking. The gold color is very light, more like a champagne, but I really like it because it can go with both gold and silver accessories. These wear and hold their shape well. For $20 I don't expect them to last forever, but they don't stretch out on the sides too bad like other low cost flats. They are comfy to wear standing, sitting, driving, etc. I highly recommend."
