"These shoes are very stylish and feel like they will hold up for quite a while. The sole is very comfy. They do run narrow. The bit of heel is perfect, not too high, and sturdy enough to be comfortable for the whole day. The brown version of the shoe gets scratched very easily. Not sure if a suede block will help fix things. The black version of these don't seem to have the same problem. Overall, a really good shoe!"
