These shoes are surprisingly comfortable! The straps add an element of interest and security so you’re not worried about it flying off as you’re walking! The sole feels padded so it’s very comfortable. It’s the perfect dressy-shoe for spring, though I’m sure I’ll wear them all year. I go between sizes 7.5 and 8 for shoes and the 7.5 ended up being a little smaller than I like, so I exchanged for the 8, which was a hassle-free experience. Definitely recommend.
