Really luv the colors & think the style is really cool, but there r several things I don’t like about them. The toe box is a little too wide so that when I walk it bends ( like a crease) & rubs my small toe. All my sneaks r med width & never had this problem. On the left side of each sneaker is a kind of bulge right below the small toe where maybe people might have a bunion. I wondered if that’s what it’s for, but none of my other sneakers have it. Looks a little weird. The banding that goes around the sneaker is very rigid, not flexible at all. If u get a size that’s snug I think that may b uncomfortable. None of my other sneakers r like that, all of them r flexible. But this pr isn’t snug so it’s not a problem. The shoelaces r very flimsy (thin widthwise & thickness), but I don’t want to change them bcuz they match the trim. Lastly, but maybe most importantly, they have insoles that match the trim & shoelaces (dk pink) & the color leached out all over the bottom of my sox, & it doesn’t come out in the wash. Never had that happen in my life! So, after saying all that, I decided I liked the colors & style enough that I’d keep them. I’m going to wear a thicker sock so maybe it won’t rub my toe & hope eventually the color will stop running into my sox. When I wear them I wear the same sox so I don’t ruin a lot of them. I switch my sneakers every day (have 7 prs). Hope this helps!Forgot to say that the sneakers r comfortable (except for the toe rubbing)!I just wanted to comment on the review below mine about the “running shoe sole”. I feel the exact same way. Makes your feet look so much bigger. That’s why I like this style so much it’s kinda slenderizing. I’ll actually order another pair. I can’t stand all that extra rubber on the sole & behind your heel on almost all sneakers. Who needs to make your feet look bigger?
