I like the look but ultimately had to send them back. Wore them two days in a row and was very happy when they came off at the end of the day. The inside of the heel squeaks when I walk (sock rubs against the inside-back of the shoe, solution was to lace them so tight they were uncomfortable) and the top of the shoe pinches near the joint of my big toe. Paid $60, didn't think they were worth that price.
