Soft leather wraps around the foot and supports a gentle, comfortable feel and smooth foot movement.
Two types of shoe laces are included: flat laces with metal aglet and satin ribbon laces, allowing the look to change according to styles or moods.
The shoes are made from a shirring elastic structure to allow for maximum comfort and flexibility throughout the day.
They can be dressed up with a pretty dress or down with jeans and activewear, meaning they will move into various different parts of your day.
The laces can also be removed for a more minimalist look or outfit.
