Wife loved the gift
My wife really loved these; they look elegant on her.
We turned up the romance on our Hummingbird flat by adding a sparkly jewelry oversized bow atop plush Deep Earth color velvet. Crafted with our Barefoot Ballerina technology, this silhouette includes a completely flexible satin-lined sock that bends with you as if you are barefoot but still offers full arch support and seven layers of cloud-like comfort. This little gem is complete with our signature grosgrain backtab and gold Birdies logo.

The Deep Earth Velvet color is stunning, but these shoes just didn't work for my feet. They felt too narrow in the toe box, even though the length was correct. My toes felt pinched after a short time wearing them around the house.
I love the Deep Earth Velvet color; it's so versatile. The arch support is a definite plus for a flat shoe, making them good for longer wear. They felt a little stiff initially, but have softened up nicely with a few wears.
The velvet is very soft to the touch and looks nice. However, the fit around the heel felt a bit loose on me, causing some slippage when I walk. I usually wear a 7.5, and perhaps a 7 would have been better for the heel.
Lovely velvet and good arch support, though they needed a bit of breaking in.
