There was wide forum support for this bootie - I think Una started the thread and linked to the style. It's probably one of the most uncomfortable booties I've ever fitted on my foot. The zipper was stiff to pull down and the leather was harder than cardboard. It was so awfully uncomfortable that I burst out laughing in stores. It's SUCH a shame, and waste of a fab looking shoe. The colour is sublime and the fit on the ankle very neat and tidy.
The same style in black was much softer. So worth a try in black if you don't have fussy feet.
