well the seller ended up changing the buy it now for me so i bought them! i do want the brown but these are super fun and if you're going to have a super fun shoe you should go all the way, right? plus, the fact that they're less than half the retail of the brown ones was huge for me. i just can't afford the other ones and i know me, i would have bought them anyway. lol. thanks for all the advice ladies! you might see these back on the bay soon if i end up not feeling them when i get them. lol.
