Cute to the Core Flats Review!

I LOVE animals. Seriously. I have since I was a kid, and it's something I can't help. I've always preferred animals over people, even. I know...that's awful...but I'm honest! 

Another love? Clothes, shoes, makeup, etc. For someone who doesn't care as much, I can be surprisingly girly! I like to look nice when I can. :) 

Tie the two of these loves together and you've got me hooked! Animal shirts, scarves, sweaters, etc... I'm there! I LOVE expressing my love of animals through my clothes and accessories. To me, that's the easiest way! On top of that, they tend to be conversation pieces, as well! 

When I saw Cute to the Core's animal shoes, I squealed at the Panda version. They're SO CUTE!! I knew that I HAD TO have them...and luckily, I was able to snag them! 

As cute as they are in the photos, they're cuter in person! I didn't realize that my new shoes would be so awesome! The main difference is that I expected the face and ears to be painted on. I was prepared to be SUPER careful with them. However, when they arrived, I saw that the detail is actually done in stitching! This means that the design will STAY and not come off! How awesome is that?? 

Inside the shoe, the logo is stitched as well! I LOVE that this attention was given to the detail.

I also love that the top of the shoe is scalloped to the shape of the Panda's head instead of going straight across! It gives it more dimension. 

After wearing these guys for one day I can tell you that there's really no hard breaking-in stage. I normally wear a 9.5-10 and I ordered the 10. They fit perfectly! The toe is a BIT tight at first but after a few hours, they were fine! 

The shoe is made of a leather material and is easy to wipe down if you get it dirty. I was VERY happy about this as my adventures led me through dirt. 

Overall, these shoes are VERY cute and WELL made. If you're looking for a cute show that not many people will have, this is a good one for you!

I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion. I was not compensated for my review.
