I wanted to love these shoes. When you first put them on, the inside is so soft, you'll think they're going to be your dream shoe. You walk around your house few a few minutes, they still seem great, so you grab your bag and head out. That's when it all goes wrong. I live in New York, so I do a good deal of walking. I know not every shoe is comfortable at first, but this morning, I hadn't made it two blocks before I looked down and realized my toes were BLEEDING from the strap across them cutting in. I had to stop, pull out my emergency bandaids so I didn't bleed all over my shoes, then hobble back home. Again, this was after two blocks. The strange part is, the shoes aren't even tight. If anything, I'd say the lean on the wide side, so I was shocked that the straps could dig in this way. These shoes are super cute, and if you try them on, you'll want them. But if you walk any distance as part of your day (ie more than a block), don't do it. Shoes you can't walk in, no matter how cute, simply aren't worth it.
