Oh these were perfect (color/style/everything) for my Genshin Impact Barbara cosplay. The inside of the shoe (part that's touching the foot) is a bit costume-y and feels fragile but seems like it holds up well for casual use like walking around indoors for a few hours. The visible shoe itself does not look costume-y at all, they work really well for cosplay or lolita coordinates. They do start to hurt after a bit but I think that's more to do with the fact that they are heels and not flats lol. The straps don't dig in at all, super comfy on that front, and I'm super impressed with the closures on the straps! They close by snapping a button in place and there's a metal bit that helps you pop the button back open so you don't have to worry about the wear and tear ruining the integrity of the straps nor worry about pulling the button straight out of the strap trying to get the shoes off. I imagine they'd be a super easy transition to slip in and out of at a convention or meet-up with back-up flats. I think more than anything I'm relieved that they fit me! I ordered the largest size but even then I wear a size 9 to 9.5 in USA sizes so the size conversions are a bit tough for me to double and triple check but the size 41 do fit my feet exactly. Not even being too narrow, they're the exact width I need to wear them comfortably without the sides rubbing my feet raw. I don't feel tightness in the toes or the heel at all so overall I'm really pleased by this purchase. (for reference, these shoes were worn for about 2 hours inside my house on carpeted floors and tile before making this review)
