I was so excited about these shoes, loved wearing them, and got so many compliments. Unfortunately, they are very cheaply made and the straps came apart from the shoe itself after only a few wears, as they were only glued down and not secure. These shoes are meant to be worn somewhere that requires no activity at all, the least bit of wear and they fall a part. Also, the fit on the back straps was awful. they look as if they are supposed to fit snuggly around your heel to help support your ankle, but instead they bulge out from either side, making them look very ugly and awkward, and greatly diminishing the support of the shoe overall, to the point that when  you walk your heal slips off and your topple a bit. They're honestly quite dangerous to walk in. I would not recommend these shoes at all. I was very saddened and very disheartened to have to throw them away after only wearing them about four times.
