text: The quality of these shoes is poor. When they arrived, one of the buckles was facing the wrong direction, poking out waiting to snag or stab something. I thought at first it was sewn on wrong, but then I realized I needed to pull out the entire top strap, flip it over and re-thread. Then I discovered the material inside the heel piece was glued/sewn on poorly, creating a ridge that would rub the bottom of the heel while walking. To top it off, the strap is too short and made the whole shoe very tight and uncomfortable. Returned.
