Frankly I know nothing about shoes - My GF loves these shoes so I went to their store to check it out . The sales rep helped me check out all the different styles - i found these really amazing looking shoes that looked like any girl would die to have. A few other girls that were shopping in the store agreed that they were the best ones in the store. I scooped them up along with a matching bag they had. Yea i could have gone away on vacation for the price of the shoes .
