I'm looking for a biz-casual shoe/bootie that looks great with slacks, leggings, long skirts, that's a little funky but not crazy funky. They had to be comfortable when I'm on my feet for work. I really wanted these to be the ones, because looks-wise they filled the bill: They are quality looking, pretty shoes, a lovely shade of dark brown, liked the ruche detail. I've never owned Sofft shoes before so I can't compare, but I found these to be very buttery leather, with only the toe tip and the back heel hard (as it should be, in my opinion). They felt comfortable, no initial rubbing, pinkie-toe crowding, pinching anywhere, and didn't hit under my ankles as some can. But these are just my deal-breakers -- others may not agree. The heel is 3 1/2", and I've now officially discovered that my "day comfort" zone stops at 3". These are just tall enough to make my big toe joint ache when walking. My only other issue: I wear a steady size 7, very occasionally a 6.5. These were size 7, and although they didn't feel too big on me when standing (distance of toe to front, etc.), when I walked my heels picked right up out of the shoe and made my whole walk feel unstable (plus could end up rubbing after longer wear). I also found I could slide the shoe right off my foot without unzipping. Sigh. Back they go. Perfect shoe for someone else!

I love these shoes! They look great, are well made, and the color of the soft leather turned out to be exactly what I wanted (hard to tell from a photo sometimes). The heels are a little high for me, I wouldn't be able to walk great distances. But they do look awesome.

Best bootie ever! Looks gerat with both pants and skirts. Heel is a little higher than anticipated but not too high. Highly recommended!

I like these shoes, got a 7.5, I normally take a 7.5 or 8 and these still had some room. Heel is a little high yet walked around NY City for a day and didn't experience a backache.

Gorgeous shoe and great construction. Unfortunately it does not the usual feel of a Sofft shoe. Very hard!

Super cute flats. Jewels are ample and sparkly. Get lots of compliments at the office with colleagues or on the weekends with friends...perfect for the adding some fun for the holidays!

I bought these in two colors. They run generous which is good for me for hot summer days when feet seem fatter. One problem: there is a buckling on the side an inch down from the front by the arch; strange. Maybe it will relax in time. Otherwise they are very attractive and just right for summer wear. I think they were a good buy. Many compliments already.

The shoes are very cute, but that's about all they have going for them. The quality is definitely lacking. The sides of the shoes are flimsy, so there is next to no support. While I will get some wear out of them, I don't expect they'll last long. Quality does not match the price. They also run large. I consistently wear a size 8 and really need a 7 or 7.5.
