I love the design, color and the leather texture. It fits well but not perfectly as I still have some very slight space which anyway does not cause much inconvenience.Update to my review. Actually the little space caused some inconvenience after a few usage. This is strange as I normally wear Europe size 41 which should be US size 8 but it appears size 7 will be ideal for me with this shoe. It fits my son who wears size 9. I still ove the shoe but can't find size 7
Just received. A bit disappointed with the quality. Given it's a Steve Madden I had a difference expectation of what the quality should be. It is extremely lightweight which might be a good thing for others.Of importance is that the bottom is made of a sponge/cheese like material. overtime I will be able to determine durability.I bought the 11.5 which fits well except that the entrance is bit tight. I am suspecting that with a few wears it will be more comfortable.Notwithstanding these concerns it was a good purchase having bought for roughly $30 on sale.This is an update to my earlier review above. Wore it for the first time out. It was extremely comfortable. After about an hour the entrance which was concerned about being tight was not an issue. However, after wearing for about 3 hours the bottom started to show signs of deterioration as shown in the pic. Was not expecting this but is still hopeful I will get enough wear out of it.
Love it!
