"This is a great shoe. Its comfortable and I can wear them with a dress or a skirt or simply jeans. I am a curvy female weighing in at 190 and they support me just fine. I am a commuter so i always need comfort. I haven't sweated in them which means its breathable(for the time being). I use the shoe laces when they feel loose, which make them fit perfectly. They also say sparkly but you have to be darn close to see that sparkle. In Seattle we have rain and these have held up. So would I recommend this shoe? I would because its a steal and I can see myself wearing them all year round. Except not in snow. I'll be back to review that when it snows. Good luck!"
