The good and the bad: These rub a little behind the ankle. The leather is also just a little stiff and not top quality. I don't buy shoes often, so I tend to splurge on my shoes and spend hundreds of dollars when I do invest in them. But this time, I wanted some bolder colors. For that, I didn't want to pay a lot, so I found these and decided to give them a try. For the money, they're well worth it. They don't look bad and are reasonably comfortable. I have skinny ankles so I needed to add an extra hole or two in order to be able to buckle them tightly enough so they didn't slip. I also added thin inner shoe pads made for stilettos that I bought at the drugstore to the soles of these and that helped. The selection of colors is amazing. I went with the bright, peacock blue. I'm happy with these.
