Promising review: "I have a hard to fit foot and am very picky about comfort. I wanted an inexpensive pair of black flats but didn't want them to kill my feet. These are perfect! My foot is pretty narrow, so flats sometimes don't fit or slip off easily — not these! I also didn't need to break them in at all — they were comfortable immediately. I highly recommend these if you are looking for a pair of inexpensive flats." —Michelle

Promising review: "You can never go wrong with Blundstones! I have two pairs of Blundstones now and they are by far the best quality boots I have ever owned. I like the chisel toe because it can be dressed up or down depending on what you are wearing. But be prepared: They do take some time to break in, especially along the top of your foot." —WorkerBee49

Promising review: "These are so cute!! They feel pretty sturdy as well. I was super skeptical about the cut of the shoes because i'm very picky if they show too much toe or if they're covering most of my feet, but these are perfect. For the price, you really can't go wrong buying these shoes! Also, they're quite comfy after a few times of wearing them" —Thinh H.

Promising review: "OMGsh! I never in my wildest dreams thought these shoes would fit, less alone be comfortable. I have worn them all day, and I love them. I will be getting more in many different colors. Do remember these are FLATS, so there is not a lot of cushion, so I cannot imagine walking around a fair in them would be comfortable. But I went to lunch, ran around the house, and even went to the grocery store for a few things and they were great. Highly recommend." —Nutbugs

Promising review: "I've been wanting some Chelsea rain boots for a long time now, and these are PERFECT for the price. $25 for nice rainboots is for sure a steal, and the rubber on these is super pliable and comfortable for day-long wear. I will say the sizing isn't perfect; I fall between an 8-9 depending on the brand, but generally find my feet to be closer to a 9. Since there aren't half sizes, I went with the 9 here, and it is definitely a little too large. If you're a borderline size like me, you may want to go on the smaller side instead." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "The shoes are stylish and super cute. Feel comfortable, soft when wearing them. I love this style, it so fashionable. They are just what I wanted and are so easy to put on.
