"I have had these flats since Feb/March and I have worn them so much I am now considering getting a new pair. I must admit, I took the tassel off, but this shoe has been incredible. I have a ~15 min or so walk to work from the metro and these shoes were comfortable enough to wear to, during, and from work. They have also lasted a long time in the wear department because the sole keeps the rest of the shoe off of the pavement, unlike other flats that I have tried (steve madden is notorious with me for this). Perfect shoe!"
