I bought two pairs of these shoes and I really like them. They are very comfortable and light. The only negative is that the colors don't hold up when they get wet. I put some water on one pair and now I have white spots where the color has come off. That was all it took - a little moisture, and the paint began to crumble. I still love the shoes but now I wear them at home as slippers. They are great for slippers as I can keep them from getting wet. If the company finds a way to improve color fastness I will buy more!
