" While I love my free gift with purchase, I find that the size of this doesn't bode well for everyday purse travel. I can only fit one of the inner pockets comfortably into my purse - the entire bag is far too big and bulky. However for travelling, this is awesome! With multiple compartments there is plenty of room for all my beauty essentials (and some jewelry.) Thank you DSW! "

" Bought these for my husband for Christmas. He says that they are warm and very comfortable. The only thing to be aware of is that they seem to run extremely long. My husband typically wears a size 13, but his feet were swimming in these - but he wouldn't let me exchange them. "

Perfect Slip On Sneakers
" I've been looking for a pair of cute, sporty flats to wear with jeans/yoga pants. These fit the bill. Super comfortable sole and soft sides make it feel like you're wearing slippers. There is not much arch support (flat sole) and they do run slightly long. I would suggest going down a half size. I ordered mine in my usual size (9) but could have worn an 8.5. My only complaint is that the white sole seems to attract dust very quickly, but at such a great price it's well worth it. "

" Zigi has done it again. Great style at a super discount! I bought these in black and I'm in love. While at first I was hesitant about the feather, they add a playfulness to an otherwise serious leather boot. They do run slightly narrow, and are not the most comfortable boot, but they more than make up for it in style. I was able to rock these with my pirate costume for Halloween, and again for my style trek through the streets of San Francisco. I know that every woman I ran into was secretly eyeing these boots - wanting to know where I got such fabulous shoes!
If you've been eyeing these - buy them! If you have wider (not wide, just wider) feet, I recommend sizing up at least a half a size. They are real leather and will stretch. Also, the ankle does seem to be a bit baggy, but nothing that distracts from the line of the boot. You might want to add some thicker ankle socks to balance them out. Also, if you go up a size, you might be able to add some insert and have comfortable AND stylish boots! "

" I wanted a pair of basic leather flats to become my "flip-flops of winter." These seemed to fit the bill - although they do run short. I recommend sizing up at least .5 to 1 full size larger than you normally wear. At first they're fine. However by the end of an 8 hour work day (mostly spent at a desk I might add), the elastic back is digging into your ankles, and your toes are crying for release from their leather prison. I'm going to see if I can stretch them out and break them in - since they're leather I'm sure they'll mold to my feet eventually. Good luck with these - and I would definitely recommend if you have short, extremely narrow feet! "

" I never thought I would review a b.o.c. shoe and say they weren't comfy! Unfortunately for as cute as these leather and velvet oxfords are, they're just not make for walking. While trying them on the store they felt amazing - two hours into my trip to the city and I wanted to amputate my feet at the ankles! I have an average to narrow foot with high arches. However, too much pressure on the balls of my feet (and I regularly wear 4" heels!) and on my pinky toes lead to blisters. Might try and add some inserts and wear them work (at my desk job) - but as for walking, you can forget it! I gave them stars for style, but definitely not for comfort! "

" Love the pop of royal purple these tights gave to a solid black outfit. Betsey Johnson is a master at leg-wear, these babies did not snag (even when I had to ditch my shoes and walk barefoot up the stairs to my hotel room). However, they do run short - being 5'6" they were barely long enough to remain opaque (with the exception of my knees.) "

" Love these leopard print socks. Added to my plain black flats, they gave just the right pop of pattern during my trek through the city. Also - they worked great with my Zigi Trunk books - just enough of a lining to make the shoes less irritating on the toes! "

" Fell in love with the Crown Vintage wedge - however when I tried it on in store it just didn't fit right. However, after finding these Levity Udell Sandals - I'm glad the Crown Vintage ones didn't work out! After a tough day of scouring the streets in San Francisco, my pinky toes were covered in blisters, and the balls of my feet were aching. However I was able to put on these babies, and walk the rest of my night away to the Cheesecake Factory and some more shopping! Fitting true to size, and being made of leather - they were definitely the perfect ending to a night of retail therapy! "

" Loving the silver and black glitter pattern - can't wait to wear these out on the town! They do feel a bit tight (I am a true size 9), however I have a feeling that they will stretch a bit as I wear them. "

" Love these sandals! Bought in the taupe color - they seemed a bit to "goth" in the black. Received so many compliments on these, and they're super comfortable! "

" Purchased the blush color - however the color that arrived was more of an icky salmon crossed with purple. They couldn't go back fast enough. Exchanged them for a pair of Zigi's and couldn't be happier. "

" These were a replacement for my JS Henri pumps - but they're not even close in comfort factor. They have a great, timeless look and the platform makes them easy to walk in. If you have narrow heels, be sure to invest in some inserts! "

" Sexy nude pump - but this is not a stand out pair. Might last the season - but only if you take very good care of them. Mine were scuffed the first day, and as they're synthetic they get quite hot on the inside. Make sure to have some fabric insoles with these - gel ones will be murder! "

" Love, love, love these shoes! I bought the peacock print with the solid heel and have received many compliments. My husband wasn't too sure about them at first - but they look smoking hot when they're on. Paired with a mini skirt and a tank top - or even jeans and a sweater - these will last through those first warm days of fall! "

" Bought the black and white patterned ones, and while they look great, they don't feel great. These are reserved for date nights, and half days at work. Will not be able to wear these for full day as I feel like my foot slides all over the place (even with inserts) and the back strap slips off my heel. Too bad - they're adorable. "

" Bought these in nude with a FSF giftcard. Looked great on, and were the perfect nude wedge to pair with jeans. However after wearing these for a full day at work, it felt as though I was walking on broken glass. Will have to try an insert and see if that helps a bit - but don't plan on long walking trips in these wedges. "

" Loved the look of these shoes - but not for me! Felt like my size 9 foot looked gigantic in these sandals. While my feet are not wide at all, it felt as though the sides of my foot and the tips of my toes were hanging off the edge. Might have been solved by going up a size, but will leave these to narrow footed ladies with short toes! "

" Beautiful shoes - but not for me! They made my size 9 feel feel and look gigantic. Also, even though my foot isn't wide by any means, I felt like the sides of my foot were hanging off the edge of the sandal. This would probably work best if you were to go up a half size and have very narrow feet (and short toes!) "
