Its truly hard to imagine that these shoes weren't even worth the 5$ I paid for them. Yes they were cute. And yes I expected them to be not great in the arch support department but the way that the elastic is supposed to keep it on your foot simply doesn't function.  They pretty much gave me a flat tire walking 5 steps down the hallway: I cant even imagine the pain in the rear that these would give you if you walked in them all day long.  They are cute but you would have to get them pretty tight in order for them to stay on your feet.
