I have only worn this shoe 10-15 times, mostly indoors, but it is already looking worn. It is worse than the K-mart flats I wore in high school. I expect a shoe this expensive to be more durable! Also, the shoe has begun to pinch around the elastic in the toe.

The shoe is very cute, especially with skinny jeans or crop pants. The lizard skin and bow are nice. There is some toe cleavage. I can wear them with orthotics. There is no arch support in the shoe. The shoes feel like slippers. Almost like going without shoes. I wish the back of the shoe was stiffer.

Quality does not justify price -
I saw these shoes in a shoe store and kept thinking about them, so I decided to order some online. The shoes are definitely cute (I ordered the purple and the blue), but it was obvious that the snake scales would rub off very easily with wear. In fact, I could already see evidence of that, presumably from those that had tried the shoe on before me.
When I first tried the shoes on, the fit felt perfect, but with continued/subsequent wear (i.e., trying them on in my house) my right foot started to feel a bit strangled. My right foot is about a 1/2 size bigger than my other foot and I ordered my usual size. You might want to consider ordering both your usual size and a 1/2 size larger if your feet are different sizes like mine. However, the shoes feel like they might stretch out a bit because they are a little flimsy.
Overall, I do not feel that the quality of the construction justifies the price tag. I'd keep them if they were much less, but otherwise no. I'm sending these back.
Product Quality -
This is the second pair of Sam Edelman shoes that I purchased. I love that they don't make my 9.5 size look like boats, but the quality of this recent purchase I notice that the snakeskin on the top of the shoe flaked after 3 days, and I paid $95, so that is the only thing that I am not satisfied with. Other than that, Sam E. is an excellent shoe designer.
Other Brands Recommended by Reviewer: None, not only are Sam Edelman gorgeous, but comfortable as well.

Cool looking flat!
This shoe was a little wide for my foot that runs narrow. I liked them so much I decided to place double thick insoles inside so I can keep them. Zappos can not be beat for great service!
I love shopping at this site and plan to continue!

Super Cute!
I just received these yesterday and walked around all day and into the night and they were pretty comfy right out of the box. A few little sore spots, but no blistering. I have a small foot, size 5, and these fit perfectly. Not sure how I feel about the black elastic band across the toe though. Hopefully for the price they'll last me a while. I live in a city where lots of walking is required so I tend to be pretty hard on my shoes. So far, I like them a lot!

A little stiff -
Looks good but the material was a bit stiff. The elastic band across the toes isn't needed and precludes the good, low cut vamp look.

Candela -
I loved this shoe; however, it seems small in the toe box, so I will have to send it back. The look is great, and feels comfy otherwise inside. I’m sad about having to send it back to them! :(

Cute, but how long will they last?
I saw these in the February 09 fashion magazines and fell in love. I bought in the blue colorway in my normal size 10. They are really cute, but very flimsy for the price. I am not sure how well they will last. They can always become expensive bedroom slippers.

Soft and flexible -
I bought these flats in black and they are so dainty and feminine. I'm a 5.5 and they fit like a 5.5 should. They are so soft and flexible they feel more like a slipper. No toe cleavage for me, but I have short toes.
