"I had a shoe-crush on these for weeks before I actually took the plunge and bought them. With the laces, they stay on pretty securely, but if you get them tied on right they could also be (with a little difficulty) slip-ons.
For the everyday, I love shoes that are comfortable, flat, and a little thin-soled, and these were perfect. The cute design on them is *so* now, and actually goes with a lot more than I was expecting.
I did, however, end up returning them with a lot of regret. I had just gotten a new job and they didn't quite meet the business dress code, so I traded them in for a pair of girly oxfords. Not quite as cute, not quite as comfortable, but c'est la vie. At least they come in two other prints, so even if these go out of stock I still have a shot at them later on.
