The varied designs are all very attractive. The canvas top is flexible (vs the microfiber version, which is NOT.) The outsole is flexible.
The fit is only OK. A bit long for 8.5 (see below), but it's not super wide given the longer than standard fit.
The inner sole has a stitched pattern (which you can see on one of the product images.) I don't like the feel of that. But I just wear some thin socks instead.
This brand runs large. I am usually a size 9, may be size 8.5 at times. I got the 8.5 and they were still slightly long. I think size 8 may be OK in length, but I don't want to sacrifice losing the width. Given the stitched inner sole surface, I just wear some thin socks to fill out the shoes, and to buffer from feeling the stitches.
Overall, if it weren't for the very nice artistic designs, I don't think I would keep them as they don't fit and feel comfy enough to be great "comfort fit shoes". But I am too tempted by the great design :p, so I am keeping them.
I researched these shoes for ages before breaking down and buying them. The price seemed pretty steep to me, but oh.my.goodness. totally worth it. Super well made, the designs are unique, the shoe is very lightweight and super comfortable. I will be saving up to buy another pair very soon!
