The Starling Cheetah was my first pair of Birdies. I waited over a month to decided to order them because of the cost and being disappointed with other shoe brands. When they arrived and I opened the package I was thrilled! The quality was beautiful. When I put them on my feet, I swear I heard Angels singing! Yes! They are that comfortable!

The Starling Birdies are so comfortable that I own them in multiple colors. Felt so confident about those that the first time I wore them was for a full day of walking around the city, and they did not disappoint! Perfect sizing, no break in time and so very stylish!

Sized up and perfect fit, love these! Faux leather so little trickier to break in but didn’t take long and just really cut pop for any outfit from work to nights out
