"After reading all these great reviews, I couldn't resist buying my own pair after throwing away my old combat boots. I ordered the booties in black and they came quickly. The second I opened the box, I fell in love. They are so cute and fashionable while being discreet and mysterious. They are unpadded and hurt my feet a bit and required breaking in to soften the shoe but other than that, they were great. There's a zipper in the back and I like keeping it unzipped for those times I don't want to look too put together or when my feet hurt from walking all day trying to commute from class to class. I'm so excited to continue wearing them!"
