I think these shoes are beautiful, but the top jewels and leather kept rubbing the top of my foot and made a terrible blister (both feet) by the time i discovered this, it was too late to return them. I tried to remove the top jewel and trim away the leather which looked acceptable, but they still hurt. Sad, not only because i loved the appearance, but because i spent 50.00 for nothing. I have bought several pairs of yellow box, but will look at other options now. :(
