"I liked the styling of these shoes, but will be exchanging for a different size. I ordered a 7.5, but I think I will need an 8 or 8.5. In fairness, my feet are a bit wide and usually between 7.5 and 8 anyway. But definitely choose the larger size if you are between sizes. The sole of these is pretty comfy, but it also appears to be a bit cheap (it seems like a nicer insole on top of a cheap flip flop bottom). I am not sure how they will hold up, but I will keep them for the price."

Wide works better for me
"These have a good look and height but sizing was tough for me. I ordered these in the regular width because I wanted to get my normal size (7.5) and that was sold out in wide. I should have known that any brand that offers wide makes their regular-width shoes a bit more narrow. There was also a strange issue of how my foot was held in the shoe - I had plenty of room in the front and much less in the back in terms of room/length. This may be fixed once I get a wide and I can get my foot in the straps better! I also thought the straps were pretty non-flexible for leather...really it is because there is a gold-tone lining material on the straps that is man-made and thus won't stretch - I wish it was leather too!"

Nice choice
"Bought several purses in black for my sister's birthday gift. I decided this was the best. The leather was nice, the strap length was perfect, and the gold detail was a nice modern-ish touch. It is big enough for her 13" laptop and a few folders, which is what she wanted. She can put her phone in the outside pocket and not have it get lost. One detail which I would have liked to add is a zipper so when you knock over the purse, stuff doesn't spill out. Oh well, at least the pocket is secure with a flap (unlike the purse I am currently using)."

Good choice
"I picked these because they were on sale when I bought them and I liked the slight scalloping on some of the seams (for a feminine touch). I have a slightly wide toebox area and these were also more comfortable than some of the more narrow oxfords. I have been wearing them mostly daily for about 6 weeks and they have held up well. I have scuffed off the leather (it is more of a thin black coating over natural colored leather than totally dyed black) in a couple of places near the heel, but I am pretty hard on my shoes. On snowy days, they are not quite waterproof, but water resistant."

Too big
"These were really pretty, but way too big. I usually wear between a 7.5 and 8 and have wide feet. I got these in 7.5 and they felt huge. I could pull them off without unzipping and my heel kept slipping around. But really pretty shoe with nice leather. I went to my local store in hopes of a 7, but no luck and I didn't love them enough to do another mail order..."
