Okay, let me start by saying these shoes are STUNNING. The brown-blue color combo? Chef's kiss. I've gotten more compliments in a week than my entire wardrobe combined.

BUT - sizing is a nightmare. I'm usually a 9, went with 9.5 as suggested, and they fit like Cinderella's glass slipper (pre-magic). Snug at first but stretched beautifully after a few wears.

The comfort level shocked me - walked 8hr shifts with zero foot pain. That said, the 'leather' debate is real. Mine smell like genuine leather but some reviewers swear they're plastic. Either way, they look premium.

Major warning: The eyelets started fraying after light wear. For the price, I expected better durability. Still keeping them because hello, they're gorgeous, but buyer beware!

Final verdict? 4/5 stars - subtract one for quality concerns. Would I buy again? Already eyeing the blush pink pair...
