These shoes are so darling! They really have that retro oxford feel without being too super hot for warm weather. I received a lot of compliments on them as well. Unfortunately, they're super flimsy. After only about 2 months of regular, non-strenuous wear (not every day, but a 2-3 times a week) the rubber/plastic? heels just crumbled apart. Such a shame, since they're so cute. I'm tempted to get another pair, even, but knowing it was only a matter of time until they met the same fate, how could I? :/ I would take them to a cobbler if I was sure I wouldn't get laughed out of the place. If you only plan to wear them for a special occasion-- great. If you want them for the long haul, it's not going to happen.
