"I read the reviews for this shoe online before I bought them (I didn't try them on before purchasing). Anyway, they're BEAUTIFUL in person, probably my favorite pair of shoes. But besides the look, this pair of shoes is so comfy! With the exception of the first night I wore them (first night is always rough) I've worn them out several times on nights out, and they're great! I have the taupe and think I'm going to buy the red!"
