"I had bought a pair of Roxy Ventura's a few years ago and they are my favorite shoe, but they're falling apart! I am so glad I was able to find a pair similar. They shoes are even better than my first ones! I bought this shoe in black and it's SOOO comfy and fits perfectly! I really hope they don't discontinue the Ventura because it's my favorite shoe EVER!"
