It's okay if you are walking short distances, or wearing them at work. Now, if you decided to go shopping all day and had to walk in them for several hours, you would start to feel a lot of pain. I unfortunately learned the hard way... It was unbearable. I had to get to a CVS store and put inserts in order to make them more comfortable. So, now, I only wear them when I know for sure I won't be walking a long distance. This is sad, because these shoes are super cute.
