I am  REACTION fan....However this is the first pair I have been a disappointed with.  The shoes have a beautiful leather finish, the details on the heals look sharp and well designed. I wear a  small size (5.5), and my foot is just barely able to arch to the top of the heal..ouch! I love the style of Kenneth Cole, however the high arch,  and heal design of this particular shoe is not a shoe that I can wear a second time.
