These are so cute and I love the color. I was disappointed that they are so uncomfortable. I can feel the hard floor through the sole and I don’t like that the sole is so rigid. Returning these.

I think these shoes are cute but after being used to wearing Hokas they just weren't for me. I need arch support and they felt absolutely flat so back they had to go!

The shoes were tight around the stitching along the widest part of my foot. I might have been able to deal with breaking them in but the tongue hits me in the leg at the top of my foot and is very painful. I tried heel lifts but nothing helped. I'm going to have to return them.

I like the look but the shoe is very heavy and clunky and felt uncomfortable on my feet.

I love this style and design, but they are so uncomfortable. Even adding insoles to alleviate the lack of arch support the top of the shoes were pinching. I wish I could make them work.

Really great looking shoes, the only flaw is that since the material is made out of some leather material the back of the shoe starting hurting and scraping the skin off the back of my feet. I thought to wearing them out but my experience with this kind of material is that they never give. So if you like this pair of shoes wear them in the house first for the first day and make sure they don't scrape the back of your feet.

This shoe felt super-heavy in my hands but amazingly did not once I put it on. Extremely comfortable, but the cut didn't work for me. The top of the shoe came up too high and was rubbing on my ankle bones. Too bad, as it's super-cute and I really liked it, but had to return.

Like the color and the style but these shoes are too heavy for me, and I didn't like the smell. I am returning them.

Cole Haan (more expensive but worth it)

While these are cute, they were very uncomfortable and I sent them back. The ankle part comes up high and cut into my ankle, and there was NO arch support. Furthermore, I didn't like how the "non suede" part looked, and it seemed liked it would get dirty very quickly -- these would be much cuter if the whole thing was suede.

They are beautiful, but I don't like hard shoes. I wear them several times thinking they will wear out and become softer, but did not, so talk to my daughter and ask her if she will want them and send them to her. They are true to size, to width and support. But whoever like hard shoes then you can wear this kind of shoes, me, could not. I was sad to let them go. I know my daughter will use them and kill them,lol.

I love VANS but not these. I think because of the glitter they are stiffer. Not meant to be worn all day or for a long walk. I love the look of them but that's it!!!!

The shoe was the exact right size, but hurt my foot as soon as I took a step. The laces were very loose, and yet the very-stiff tongue was stabbing into my tendons on the top/front of my feet. I have owned many pairs of both cheap and expensive shoes, and I have never experienced this issue. Someone took a shortcut with the design and never looked back. Returning the shoes immediately.

Beautiful design but the upper padding where it meets with the tongue and shoe laces is too narrow putting too much pressure on the ankle area.

The shoes were beautiful and I love the design but I could not walk in them at all. The back of the shoe rubbed against my Achilles heel and gave me a small blister after only a few paces around my living room.
