These shoes *LOOK* amazing but there were some features that were rather disappointing.<br /><br />1) The finish is pretty poor. Around the hell the patent leather was already peeling when I pulled them out of the box<br />2) They fit much larger than you expect. I normally wear a 10 but couldn't get them in that size. Thinking they would be smaller than expected anyway I ordered the 11. What I thought would be one-size too big, turned out to be 2-3 sizes too big. Simply put, you'll want to order a size down from what you normally wear.<br />3) The toes are not really stiff enough to walk on, indeed the whole boot bends and buckles if you try to walk on them.<br />4) The &#34;lock&#34; is just for show; the other side is velcro.
