I spotted these babies on Zappos about a month ago and just couldn't get them out of my head! I was drawn to the unique vintage flair and European-esque styling. Plus, I adore the wooden heel and it's just the right height (2")! They come in a variety of colors (purple, navy, black, grey), but I had my eye on the chestnut color. Finally caved and ordered them when I saw there was only one left in my size.
Overall, these are really great in person. The chestnut is a nice golden brown color (for reference, the knee socks I'm wearing are a dark chocolate brown). They appear to be very well made - the leather is sturdy and smooth and the stitching detail is fabulous. I love the way they buckle and I adore the stacked wooden heel. Although I only wore them around our spare bedroom for a little bit, they seem to be pretty comfortable. They seemed a little tight around the toe box, but I think the leather will stretch a little after breaking them in. These would go well with skirts, casual dresses, and jeans/slacks. I really like the unique styling of these shoes....sort of like a combo between a bootie, pump, and t-strap. They seem very vintage, like something Mary Tyler Moore would have worn! Although I've just raved about everything I like, I'm 95% sure they'll be going back. There is something about them that makes me hesitant to keep them for the price. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I think it has to do with the shape of the toe box and the way the toe turns up a bit. Oh well, still a very cute shoe and I highly recommend them!
