"I searched at many different dept stores but dsw.com had them in my size and at a great price. I love these shoes. The animal print is a little sassy, but the shape and style of these shoes goes with almost anything. I've worn them a few times already and each time I get tons of compliments. I'm a teacher and these will become work shoes. I wouldn't say it feels like you're walking on clouds, but for fashionable shoes you usually have to give up a teeny bit of comfort. I suggest band aids or blister stick if you're prone to blisters. I got them the third time I wore them, but only because I was doing a lot of moving and dancing. Overall, great shoe. I'm considering getting other colors of this same style."
