these shoes are really just the kind you wear for the look. i wore them out once when i wanted a certain look. i would not wear them for more than a couple house. i would not wear them on a date or out shopping. i used them for an appointment. i would never wear them to work. they have absolutely no cushion at all. i got them because they were on sale and i had nothing like them at all. i thought they would add an interesting new dimension to my wardrobe. i wont throw them in the thrift bin quite yet, but they are not a go to shoe.
