"They were quick to break in, which was really important to me since I wanted a good flat for work. You can wear these anywhere, dinner, work, anywhere casual, and they are the darker color so they go with anything without looking tacky. I always worry about that. However, it looks great with any color combo, I usually wear J.Crew and Old Navy with it. The ONLY downside is that the inside metallic is already coming off, no one can see it but it comes off in chunks onto your feet."
