"I found these shoes on the DSW website and they were just what I was looking for. I need covered toe sandals for work and like a moderate heel. This combo is surprisingly hard to find! I was so disappointed to read in the description that the uppers were "faux leather", but went to my local DSW and was very happy to discover that they are GENUINE LEATHER!!!!! They are beautiful shoes, well made, and VERY COMFORTABLE right out of the box!!"
