I was so disappointed. I bought the shoes to wear in my daughter's wedding and they were so pretty. Unfortunately, the Velcro strap closures are very weak and don't stay closed. As I descended steps towards the ceremony area the straps popped open every 1-2 steps and I ended up with  loose, flopping shoes that were a fall hazard and looked very unglamorous. The same thing happened as I walked around outside for the photographs. I had to stop and refasten every 1-2 steps --how awkward!. I ended up removing them and wearing some old flip flops for the reception.
