I bought these for my daughter... She liked them, they looked adorable on her. But what on this good green earth are they made out of? First, the box was so light I thought they forgot to ship the shoes. However, upon opening the box I wasn't disappointed. They were there and they were really cute. The color was pretty, a nice cheery coral. It would be flattering on almost any skintone. The material was soft, which I guess was good because it made them comfortable, but they were so soft if you looked at them wrong they would scratch. Now here's the odd part. I didn't quite know what to make out of the crackling sound coming from inside the heel. They were cheap shoes, don't get me wrong, I expected the heel to be plastic or rubber or foam, even... But... They crackled? Were they filled with plastic bags and cellophane? I'm curious to know. Would I recommend them to a friend? Probably not. Would I buy them again for my daughter? I dunno. Maybe. She just cares that they look cute.
