When I bought these shoes, I was in heaven. They are absolutely the most comfortable I have ever worn. Also, great support. I get compliments constantly. After about a month and a half of light wear, the soles--especially the bottom of the wedge-- have all but disintegrated. See pictures others have posted--same deal. Tattered pieces of the outsole are hanging off. The slippery gray felt patches fell off the 3rd day in.   For $70 dollars, one would expect better. Very disappointed. I would buy them again--but only at a deep discount outlet. They also reek. I have never had shoes smell in my life, but these are horrible.
