"The color in real life is more of a yellow-ish beige color rather than the light brown color in the picture, but that wasn't a big deal. What really irritated me was that the ankle straps, that looked so cute in the picture, fit kind of awkwardly on top of each other when worn. Maybe it's just because my ankles are thin? And when I walked in them for a long time, I got blisters on the back of my heel and I haven't gotten as much use out of them since, because the black straps make the overall shoe less versatile (because it doesn't look right with beige, brown, and navy). I have gotten a lot of compliments when I did wear them though!"
