Worst Quality Shoes I ever Purchased
"I bought these shoes at the beginning of the school year because I thought they could give some personality to my school's uniform.. after 3 wears, the shoe had fallen apart, they would no longer stay on my foot, the feathers were frayed... and they fell off after the 3rd day i wore them. Definatley not worth the money I spent"

They HurtMiami, FL
"I love these shoes. I have them in black and blue (the brown isnt as pretty). they look good BUT!
They are soooo uncomfortable.. they hurt in the back on top of the heal.
Now its very normal for flats to hurt there, because the shoe is right where your ankle bends.
I bought these things to put inside your shoe under the heal and its supposed to lift the back of your foot up so that the shoe isnt where your foot bends... well it worked on all my other flats except these. =/
sucks cause they're my favorate."

i get compliments all the timeNew York, NY
"These shoes are really amazing. I get complimented any where I go and I always refer them to UO to buy them! They're comfortable and beautiful and very practical to wear, as they go with pretty much any outfit. They add an upscale quality to any outfit and they look pricy, but they're not. I recommend these shoes to everyone."

FeatherFlatsCity of Angels
"I loved these shoes online and i loved them even more when i saw them at urban outfitters. I love that they are different and not like other flats. The feather adds a nice touch of class and style.These were a little tight on my feet, so i bought half size up, everyone's feet are different. They look the same in person, the feather is delicate so be aware."

Cute Shoes yet PainfulNYC
Pros: cute, unique, price Cons: not really comfortable
"I got the blue ones in a size 7.5, my regular size and they fit fine. But my heels hurt! Hopefully the pain will go away as I wear them more often. Other than that, these shoes are very beautiful. The color of the feathers is so deep and the satin is gorgeous. Considering the price, this is worth it if you are wiling to sacrifice the comfort for a little while."

Falling apart but so pretty
"I fell in love with these shoes in the store and finally bought them this fall. I wasn't sure how the feathers would hold up in the rainy/blustery weather where I live, and they are satisfactory. The feathers have started fraying and bending a bit, but I actually expected worse. The only thing is that on one shoe the whole ornamental piece starting lifting up so I had to super glue it back to the shoe so it didn't flap up and down. But they are really gorgeous shoes and I get compliments whenever I wear them. They are worth the trouble of taking care of because they make any outfit a little more special. I have found no problems with the fit at all, I bought my normal size and normally flats tend to rub my achilles but these are never uncomfortable."

ouchie!brooklyn, ny
Pros: cute! Cons: blister city, uncomfortable, runs big
"i must have super wide feet because these shoes hurt my feet like H*LL. i got an instant blister on my heel, and the top part of my right foot near my big toe (i suppose my bunion!?) hurt really really bad. would not recommend to those with wide feet, bunions or just don't want blisters period. such a disappointment because they're so cute! also, the size runs a bit big. i usually wear a 6 but i had to put insoles in these because my heel kept popping out. maybe that's why i got blisters?? it's just a vicious cycle."

Nice for the Price
"Considering the cost, these are really stunning shoes. I already owned these in blue and just ordered and received these in black, as well. The only thing is that the peacock feathers can become easily roughed up if not careful. Also, the size, shape, and color can vary slightly between each shoe in a pair, but I think that just adds to the uniqueness of these shoes."

so charming!OK
"these shoes are so classically adorable. i just received them, and they look great. the feathers are beautiful and so is the satin; but these are definitely fragile materials so be careful with moisture and wind! my only complaint is that they're too wide. i got another pair of shoes from this brand once, and they were also too wide, so be careful if you have narrow feet. but overall i couldn't be happier with these shoes."

GorgeousToronto, ON
"These shoes are absolutely stunning, I get lots of compliments every time I wear my blue pair. The feathers are beautiful, but they can get a bit loose...As for comfort, although they feel quite satiny and smooth, after walking to and from school, my feet felt a bit red and tired. But overall, they're pretty great flats. And the price($42) doesn't hurt, either. ;)"

Beauty is Pain
Pros: totally original, great for any outfit Cons: require pain tolerance
"I bought these shoes in brown, and I absolutely love them! They might be a little bit uncomfortable, but in my mind they're totally worth it. I wore them through 8 hours of school, got dozens of compliments, and made it out with just a small sensitive spot on the back of my foot. NBD."

Very nice
Pros: beutiful feathers even brighter than the picture, nice satin fabric Cons: a bit pointier than in the picture, feathers aren't quite as pristine after shipping
"Very nice, unique flats. I got them in black. They're not the most comfortable shoes I've owned, but they're overall a good purchase."
