"I owned several pairs of floral sneakers when i was a kid and had to get these as soon as I saw them. the embroidery is actually much better looking in person in that the colors are deeper and blend better with the navy.( maybe the pix colors look bright because of the flash). also the embroidery is very intricate and pretty. They are a little bit more than half a size bigger than listed so I give them 4 stars, but this is definitely not a deal breaker."
