I've wanted this for a long time. I've never been a huge connoisseur of fashion shoes, but the style of these shoes appealed to me for a while, so I finally gave in and ordered a pair. Shipping to my area was a bit more expensive, but I guess that varies from region to region. Arrived on the agreed day (neither late nor early). Straight out of the box they look exactly like the picture and fit perfectly. I was told they were large so I ordered a half size up and they are almost perfect. The color is bright, they seem durable and don't look like fakes. Mine are new and I haven't worn them much so I can't comment on how well they hold up to frequent use but so far I'm very happy with this purchase.
