Bought these shoes for a trip and was worried they might hurt my feet or rub in spots but wore them multiple days in a row for many hours with no problems! Never got any blisters or sore spots but did get lots of compliments on them. Super cute. The metallic is not too much or too shiny. Come with 2 pairs of laces - flat and round ones. If you're on the fence - buy them, you don't regret it
