Got recommended by a friend, these shoes she gushed them, so I have worried me, because I was looking for a suitable alternative to ballerinas. Throughout the summer, I have been traveling with these shoes and I'm thrilled! You do not stink (some are the familiar with ballerinas ...), they are comfortable and the slightly higher price worth all. For this price you could, if you are good to buy 6 ballerinas - and all I would exchange it for a Minnetonka. I recommend it further!
