"I bought these shoes for a dance I'm having in a couple weeks. Needless to say, seeing the box on my front porch was pretty exciting. I tried on the shoes and it is a little heavy compared to other shoes but not so much that it would be difficult to walk around in. The part in the front of the shoes where the toes are is a little tight, and my toes felt suffocated and bounded together. The color (I got the blue one) is just as pictured, if not a little brighter. All in all the shoes are amazing and I simply cannot wait to wear it to the dance!"
