I knew shoes with a heel this high weren't going to be comfortable for a long walk, but I couldn't even wear these sitting down. The elastic in one of the heels was too taut and incredibly sharp. I bought a 9, but they felt more like an 8. The way the heel is placed also feels off-center and makes walking in these shoes more difficult than it should be.<br /><br />The pink sole of the shoe looks very very cheap in person. The plasticky pink coating has oozed onto parts of the shoe that should be black.<br /><br />Finally, they were shipped in a plastic bag, and the shoebox inside was completely crushed. I was shocked that the shoes inside weren't damaged.
