Okay, let’s talk about these *Mona Flying brogue booties*. First off, the vintage wingtip design? Absolutely stunning. The leather feels luxurious, and the detailing is chef’s kiss. I wore them straight out of the box for a full day (9 hours!), and my feet didn’t revolt—which is rare for new shoes.

But here’s the tea: sizing is a gamble. Some folks (like me) got lucky with their usual size fitting perfectly, while others ended up with clown shoes or toe-crunchers. Pro tip: if you’re between sizes, maybe size down? The 7.5 was swimming on me even with thick socks, but the 6.5 was *chef’s kiss* perfect.

Quality-wise, these punch above their price tag. The sheepskin lining is soft, and the lack of grommets/zippers keeps them sleek. But… the squeaking?! Girl. After a few wears, mine started sounding like a mouse convention. Embarrassing? Yes. Dealbreaker? Depends how much you love the aesthetic.

Final verdict: If you score the right size and don’t mind potential squeak symphonies, these are a wardrobe win. Just maybe avoid quiet libraries.
