I loved how the shoes looked in person - the satin is very pretty, the gathers by the toe are nice, and the rhinestones are of a higher quality than expected. However, the back of the shoe is so high on your ankle that it rubs immediately after putting it on your foot. I barely took 5 steps in these shoes without extreme pain - I knew they had to go back. They do include some pads for the back of the heels, but I wouldn't have had any extra room in them, it would have pushed my foot forward too much into the peep toe. I wear flats every day to work and I knew that these wouldn't make it 10 minutes on my wedding day. Such a shame because the look is exactly what I was going for.
