"Besides these shoes feeling slightly narrow for my feet, I love them!!! The heel is the perfect height & the shoes have this classy casual minimal look when they're on your feet. I love that I don't feel TOO dressed up in them since they're not so high. I wasn't excited about the velcro strap, but it's not even noticable! Side note: I'm usually an 8.5 but for anything with heels I get a 9 so I can put insoles in them. I bought the 8.5 because I forgot and I was even able to wear these shoes without the strap (straps were able to slide right out)!"
