"I love velvet and I love sneakers so this was a no-brainer for me! But this wins me over with the whimsical touches that I associate with Betsey Johnson. The grosgrain ribbon for laces and the little faux pearls on the eyelets of the sneakers are too cute! The purple is a deep, perfect shade.
I do recommend trying in store because one pair I tried on had a bit of uneven stitching or fabric by the pinky toe that rubbed and irritated me but luckily I was able to find a pair that didn't have that flaw."
"I fell in love with this boot as soon as I put it on, it's just so elegant looking! It's a stretch faux suede material that conforms really well to your calves and the slight heel makes you look incredibly sleek.
I got this boot in gray and yes, it is a brownish colored gray with some purplish tones in some lighting. It's a unique neutral and I love it."
"These boots are beautiful! The faux suede material has the perfect amount of stretch to accommodate my 16" calves but much smaller ankles without bagging in the latter or squeezing in the former. As previous reviewers have noted, these make your legs look very slender and the pointed toe is perfect for dressing up. The heel is a good comfortable height but I wouldn't take a hike in these, lol.The only fault I can find in these boots is that the heels are fairly noisy if that bothers you."

"Great looking boot! The snake pattern is actually like scales that lift up from the surface of the boot so the boot has a textured look."
The pairs on my feet are shinier and more copper toned compared to the pair on the right

"I love the color of these booties but I think its best to get these in store as there seems to be a dye lot difference. I examined two pairs of boots and one was a more matte yellow gold toned color and the other was a more shiny copper toned color.
The shoes are well padded on the insole, the sole is flexible, and the leather is soft which should make this very good bootie for stylish but comfortable outfits. I think these fit true to size and maybe even a bit big as I bought my regular size of 6.5 but could also fit comfortably into a 6."
"Love this pair of sneakers! When i took it out of the box I was initially dubious because of the rounded toe as I was looking for a leopard sneaker with a more pointed toe shape but all doubts vanished when I put these on my feet. They are chic and so comfortable! Great arch support!"
"This is a great and stylish backpack! Good size and I love the chevron quilted detail. My only real problem is that the straps are too short even when adjusted to their fullest length, this puts the bag a bit higher on my back that I usually like. The detail on the end of the drawstrings clack together when I walk but I fix that by stuffing the drawstrings inside my bag. Overall, a good buy!"
"This sandal screams summer! I love the colors of the beading, they really pop! I've found the sandal to be pretty well made; I've worn these many times and no beads have come loose yet because the beading is securely sewn onto the straps. The footbed is lightly padded so they are comfortable to wear.
The second strap is a bit loose on me but would be perfect for wider and taller feet than mine. There is a bit of elastic so it can stretch to accommodate lots of foot sizes."
"I am in love with these flats! The toebox is wide enough to accommodate by bunions and go low enough on the foot to hide them as well. They stay comfortably and securely on the backs of my feet. And the color! I got these in the green and they are perfect for summer but they pair well enough with navy and black that they can take me into Fall as well. I am eyeing these flats in the burgundy shade as well because I love them so much!"
"Unfortunately not my favorite sandal. The beaded pattern is really pretty but this shoe is not comfortable. The front strap has a really sharp edge that dug into my foot and made it impossible to walk. The sole is thin so I know you will feel every surface you walk on. In general this shoe runs narrow."
"I wish I liked these shoes more! They're a gorgeous rose gold color with a lizard skin embossed finish and look so good in the box and on the feet. However these were really hard to walk in! As I tried walking in them around the store, I kept feeling the laces loosen and my foot kept wobbling out of the sides of the shoe :( Stupid bony feet! I recommend these shoes if you want a lace-up/ghillie style shoe in an unexpected color and if you have feet that aren't as skinny as mine.
The footbed is slightly padded but I wouldn't wear these on long walking trips."
"I liked these so much in the black that I decided to get them in this color too! Same comfy, squishy footbed that's good for walking and standing in but I think I like these better! The color is a great taupe-y neutral that goes with everything and while I thought the color of the black pair was a bit stark against my skin, I really liked how these looked on.
If you're looking for stylish and COMFY shoes, Me Too is a great brand to look into."

"These sandals are the perfect color combination! The suede part over the front is soft and a perfect neutral, the silver is attention grabbing but not garish and the white really contrasts nicely with a tan!
I have pretty bony feet so i can't attest to whether these are too tight over the top of the foot but I had no problem fitting in to these sandals.
The footbed is lightly padded but I wouldn't wear these for a day with lots of walking."
"I wore these shoes as a bridesmaid for an entire day (at the church, at the park for photos, at the garden reception) and was perfectly comfy. I love that I got a versatile and COMFY pair of heels at this price!"

"These are great looking sandals! The leather is lovely gold that goes well with a lot of things and the upper is an interesting shape that offers good coverage without feeling too dowdy. I have terrible bunions that I don't like to see; this covers up the problem area without sacrificing style. The footbed is nicely cushioned so you won't kill your feet."
"Everyone is right; these shoes do run big. I'm usually a 6.5 or a 7 and a 6.5 is too big for me! They're too long and the toe strap is too wide so I slide forward when I try to walk. The style is very cute but the comfort is about average. The heel isn't very high but I prefer more cushioning to my shoes. To wear my pair, I think I'll buy some gel pads for the balls of my feet for comfort. This will probably help with the size issue too and prevent my foot from slipping forward.
Bottom line: If you don't need cushioning, buy a half size smaller and if you do need cushioning buy your regular size (don't size up!) and get a gel insert."
"Flats are supposed to be comfortable shoes but I usually don't find that the case because most of the time I find the foot beds too thin and no supportive enough.
These are ridiculously comfortable! Unlike a lot of the ghilie lace up flats available these have a thick padded foot bed so it honestly feels like you're wearing a pair of sneakers. The only problem is that these aren't very pointy toed so they fall more on the casual side. If you're looking for a super chic option, these might not be it. However, as a trendy, cute, COMFY, everyday option these are great."
