"I ordered these to wear to a high school reunion. When they arrived I realized they looked different than I expected and wouldn't work with the dress I'm wearing. I thought the entire upper would be bronze/copper colored but the back/ankle strap is not. It is sort of beige. Because the upper isn't leather it looks a bit cheap. I wore them, instead, for a graduation party with a summer dress and I was surprised at how comfortable they are. No break-in time required. They are cute overall. The rope sole trim is sturdy. My only complaint is the back/ankle strap not looking at cute as the rest of the shoe."
