NEED TO TAKE PROTECTIVE FILM OFF THE SHOES
Read reviews and was super skeptical because everyone said they were super slippery. When I first put them on they were so slippery so I inspected and you HAVE TO TAKE THE PROTECTIVE FILM OFF THE BOTTOMS OF THE SHOES!! It’s not obvious but after I took them off they were grippy and not slippery at all. So cute and dupes of the dolce vita flats!!!!!

Dolce Vita Dupe
I like these. I ordered four colors. So far, I’ve kept the brown due to being a color match for more outfits. I bought a size 8 and wear a size 8 so they are true to size. Definitely better price wise compared to Dolce Vita flats. To be honest, they may be the exact ones without the label. I’m waiting on two other colors to arrive!

Ehh
These are great if you have smaller feet. I’m usually a size 10 and that’s what I ordered since they didn’t have anything bigger and they were just a bit snug. I would say these run about a size too small. Other than the sizing, I think these are beautiful flats and look just like the dolce vita ones!

Very, very cute flats designed to fit tight
These are really, really cute shoes. The bottom is a fairly hard (but somewhat flexible) soul, and the top is synthetic suede fabric that's ruched with elastic at the top to really fit tightly around the top of your foot. The strap definitely feels like it makes the shoes more secure. As you can tell from the bent-up not-flat-without-a-foot-in-it sole, these are designed to fit skin-tight and rely on your weight to make them lay flat.The brown "suede" fabric is a warm, rich color perfect for fall.I wear 6.5-7, depending on the brand, and I ordered these in 7. I've had a lot of foot surgery, and I usually wear shoes that are designed to be orthopedic or barefoot-style. Given the slim and non-orthopedic sole profile, I was very surprised that these shoes DON'T cause stabby pain in my joints despite not having a wide toebox. I'm pretty sure that's because the fabric stretches just enough.It's great that they're not aggravating an orthopedic problem, but are they comfortable? Well, not yet. They feel tight all around. There's a difference between "actively causing pain" and "these feel great when I put them on." Because they LOOK fantastic, and they don't actively cause pain, I'm hoping that wearing them around will stretch them to the point that they become truly comfortable. YOUR MILEAGE WILL VARY. I have really messed-up feet!Regarding the slippery soles. There is an EXTREMELY thin plastic layer over the entire sole. It is so thin and tightly applied that you can't really tell it's there, and there's no obvious place to start lifting from. I assure you that, even though it looks like there's no plastic to remove, THERE IS. You may need to use a tool of some kind to get it to start lifting. I recommend doing that where the sole meets the heel so any scrapes won't be visible on the side of the shoe. (I stabbed at it with a metal tapestry/yarn needle until I got some purchase under it.) It was hard as heck to get it started but it really is there and it definitely does come off.(Edited to correct an error: the strap is adjustable.)
