i'm pretty sure the girls who got last year's version of the first ones (c. ronson, right?) were disappointed - they were very uncomfortable, from what i remember. which is a shame because they're so cute.
hth.

never seen irl but i really like the green ones, i wanted to order them last time but i used to work at a shoe store and am just getting used to paying $80 for a pair...
I've seen the first pair IRL...the green is brighter, more of a grassy bright kelly green. I REALLY liked the color though, though I'm not sure if it conflicts with the beige sole/wedge. I have tried on the shoes and I thought they were pretty comfy, but I also think the JS Barbs aren't terribly uncomfy so there you go.
