    Best sneakers on amazon!
    Size: 10.5, Color: White/Light Blue
    Best sneakers on amazon ever. I bought them on sale for around $45 and do not regret it at all. They are of superior quality and fit amazing. Comfy to wear all day and seem like they are going to last quite awhile. Very easy to clean as well.

    Size: 8, Color: White/Navy
    This is my second time buying these shoes, just in a different color. These are my favorite going out shoes for comfort, look, and overall quality. They look very clean and are great for the price! Lots of compliments on these shoes!

    Good fit but Paper Thin Insoles
    Size: 9.5, Color: White/Team Red
    Seems like a good shoe so far and looks just like the product images. The sizing is 100% accurate i got a 9.5 and it fit perfectly. Taking a star off for the terribly paper thin insoles in came in as i had to immediately replace those with some third party memory foam insoles. Definitely needs more cushioning out of the box. For the money though i recommend them.

    Cute great size got a lot of compliments
    Color: Obsidian Black
    Loved this. Got it on sale dor 34.99 and worth it it seems like a good staple for events / outtings. Even daily use probably, but I got it for a wedding event.weekend and got so many compliments! Good closure zipper had no issues. I like the material doesn’t look or feel cheap, good color. (I got black) but saw someone at event with gold one and also adorable!!! Storage is huge for me - it easily fit my phone, a couple of pads and tampons, small hand sanitizer, small aquaphor with room! I also had sunglasses in there at one point and surprisingly zipped fine with all of that. Overall convenient for storage, aesthetically pleasing, good material-quality. Cons: the chain strap bothered my neck a little bit after wearing it but that’s a me problem. Not the purse/way it was made. But something to consider.

    Cute and versatile clutch purse
    Color: Apricot Beige
    Very nicely made, can use as a clutch, a shoulder or the chain can be doubled and makes a great little purse, roomy and closes with a zipper so you don't lose things like I do. Will probably get more in different colors, soft leathery material.
