I expected more from Guess.  First of all, they slide all over the place when you walk, the bottom half of the shoe is plastic and doesn't have enough grip and texture to keep you from sliding all over.  I almost did the splits the first time I wore them.  Second, there is a peculiar dent on the top of the &#34;leather???&#34; after you put the shoe on.  I thought it would be better made, it's too small to wear with socks even though I bought my correct size.  I had a pair very similar for over two decades that finally wore out, it was made of leather and suede top and wooden bottom with the little brass tacks all around, but they finally wore out.  It costs so much to send stuff back, I'll keep them and see if I can get my husband to sand paper the bottoms so I don't break any bones.
