"This is truly the perfect shoe for what I wanted; it looks great w/pants, jeans, leggings, etc. The leather is of great quality as well. Unfortunately, the downside to this shoe is the side zipper. Like another reviewer also experienced, with one of mine, the zipper won't stay zipped; and for the price, it's more than annoying. Another factor is, the shoe is perfectly comfortable to wear to work, with sitting throughout the day, but if going out or needing to run any errands after, forget it! The dogs will be howlin by the time you get home! This is NOT a shoe to be in, on your feet, for any length of time."
