These shoes are very cute but they are definitely Not comfortable.  I tried them on and took a few steps and felt<br />the pain already.  They might be all right if you wear them with socks but since I live in Hawaii that is really not<br />an option (too warm).  They don't particularly feel very sturdy either.  I have flip flops that give more support then<br />these do.  Such a shame as they really are cute.
