This is a good looking shoe and comfortable except the back of the heel/ankle is high and for some reason the left one cuts into my ankle the right one was in Order. It would probably work if I wore high socks, but I wear ankle socks and they aren't high enough to cover my ankle in that area. One thing to note is that the shoes are made of a transparent, mesh-like material and although they are colored dark grey/black, socks are visible through them. You must wear dark socks as light socks will change the color of the shoes. If you wore them without socks, your skin would shimmer through the mesh. If you were to wear these shoes to the beach, they would definitely be filled with sand.
