I order these shoes in March. The first time I wore them was in July and very comfortable for a heel this high. I walked about a half of block and started to feel a string on my foot. The lining from the big toe to the back of the heel had started to come out as I walked. Because it's been more than 3 months I can't do anything about getting a new pair. I guess you should wear your shoes as soon as you get them.
