These shoes look exactly like they do in the picture but would look even better if the material used was not material and actually fabric. It is this synthetic leather that does not match with anything even if its color coordinated with the shoes because the shoes have a shiny exterior which makes it awkward to wear in my opinion (THE LOOK OF THE SHOE IS PERFECT THOUGH IF NOT FOR THE MATERIAL USED). The buckle-like chains on the sides of the shoes open up and the shoe lace slides out which is stupid and absolutely irritating to say the least. These shoes are what you would expect from a bargain item, but even saying that is a lie because I have bought a pair of other bargain shoes for almost the exact price as these and they look and feel ten fold better than these ever will. I never wore these after the second time because uncomfortable they are, they are now in a dump somewhere because I threw them out.
