I have had the same shoe for a few years and it was my favorite shoe. I have taken so long until it has fallen apart. I agree that he at the beginning a little suppressed or is stiff. But if he is only entered a little, he is super comfortable. He is timeless and goes with everything. The strappy lace not a though I have square-flops. I would recommend this shoe. Unfortunately, he is not made of genuine leather. Though I make a point I make an exception because it is too beautiful just at this shoe. Too bad that it is not made in real leather. Then I would spend a few more euros. All in all a great value for a super shoe !!!!!
