These shoes are unusual looking in that they're modeled after the much higher priced women shoes. The reasonably priced popular
brands don't design this style which is more European, more classy, more
sharp (and usually more pointed in the toe, which would have made this shoe perfect), especially for the price. Unless you have a large size which I don't, you can always peruse the
men's shoes for this classic style, but if you want a classy looking pair of a hoofers finally for women, in small women's sizes, this is the shoe for you. While I like Doc Marten, their shoes have too bulky a look for women and look like Frankenstein shoes, and in fact, it's their
men's shoes that are way more styling and sleek looking. Even more so on the Euro sites, but they won't sell to us here in the states. Go figure. The state of
women's shoes are awful and leave a lot to be desired. Here is a style, however, that you can purchase that is one up from the usual ugly shoes they make for women.
