I tried this shoe on at a store, not expecting much, given the price. I normally spend three times this much for my shoes, even
flats, but I have to say I was amazed at how comfortable and sturdy this shoe feels. I only wish it was suede instead of actual fabric (I took a star off style because of this), but the effect is similar, matte and subdued, but a little sassier with the pointed toe. I have worn these all day, standing for a couple hours at a time, and while I wouldn't go run around the city in them, they are reasonably comfortable. They have also held up much better than my J Crew
ballet flats, which is a lot to say given the price difference. I am actually now considering buying more. Comfortable and nice.
