This shoe is just as adorable as it is in the photo. What wasn't advertised when I bought them, was that these are basically a driving shoe. You know-- skinny suede sole with nubbies on the bottom. Plus, the weaving is very delicate (which is beautiful). I have been very careful not to wear them anywhere where they would get wet. I even passed my turn in line for a bathroom stall because the floor looked damp. In other words, more cautious than one should have to be with shoes. With all that care, after four wearings, the bottom of one shoe is beginning to wear through the little woven straps of ultra soft leather. If these shoes had the sole of a shoe rather than a slipper, they would be my favorite pair of shoes. Now that they're falling apart, I can't wear them (looks tacky). Outside of a long car, plane, or train trip, I doubt they'll see daylight again. Sniff, sniff, tear.
