I'm pretty sure if hell was a shoe, it would be these shoes. They look terrific but feel HORRIBLE. I want to love these shoes. They look adorable on. But I can't. They are so uncomfortable; they keep rubbing holes in the back of my feet and digging in to the back of my foot. I have to wear all kinds of Band-Aids and padding to get through a few hours with them. It's horrible. I literally can't wear them. I've tried to break them in. I've tried to wear them several times. They were even my primary shoes on a trip and I was all kinds of crippled the entire trip. I'd give them 4-5 stars on cuteness and one star on comfort. I can't subject my feet to these tortuous shoes any longer!
