I bought these from the store in San Francisco. I went in wanting to buy a pair of shoes, not knowing which pair, but knew I needed a pair of Fredas. After trying all of the shoes on, I settled on these after seeing them on another shopper. She and I both walked away with them, and I can’t remember a time that I have been happier with a purchase. Coming from a girl who never wears heels, they are very comfortable and easy to walk in. They look special, but not in an obvious way. Kind of like the boy next door, who was there all along, and then you come to find out he was the hot one all along. These shoes are like that- my happily ever after.
