These shoes are very comfortable (which is why I've given them 3 stars) and I've had them a really long time BUT there are a few problems. 1) The silver button busted off, but we fixed it no biggie 2) And this is the biggest complaint of mine---The way they velcro across most always leaves an open gap exposing your sock which looks really weird. 3) These days the top of the button velcro part protrudes out like wings---not a cute look. So yeah, there you have it, I wouldn't purchase them again.
