I don't know if I just got a lemon of a pair but I was really disappointed in these.  I wore these on the day we had our engagement pictures taken since I knew we'd be walking around a vineyard but they did not work well at all.  Not only did one of the pieces develop a hole in the bottom that my heel started going through which was really uncomfortable but they also ruined the leather on one of my heels.  The piece scrunched up the leather that had been coming a little loose and I now will have to get it completely repaired or replaced.  I would've been better off not wearing these at all!
