I only gave these shoes 2 stars because they are so cute. Other than that I hate them. They are more uncomfortable than any pair of heels I've ever worn and I'm not one who likes her heels. I tried several tricks to try and break them in but they are still very stiff, the heel is so stiff it rubs horrible and leaves blisters. I would not recommend to anyone and I'm sad that they did not work out for me. If I had taken better care of the box I would definitely return them.
