"I originally was just looking for a shoe too hit the spending threshold for a tote bag. The irony is that I was gyped out of the tote bag when the shoes were delivered. However, I'm glad I got the shoes that I did because not only are they cute, they're extremely comfortable. It took about a week to break in the right one, which was pressing down on the upper right side of my foot and the back of my right ankle, but now they both fit perfectly. I would highly recommend these!"
