text: I am so sad to say this, but DO NOT buy these shoes. I just returned my second pair, which is unfortunate because I love them. They fit well, are comfortable, look great for both dressing up and down, but they are defective. After wearing them for about 2 1/2 weeks, both pairs of shoes started giving out where the metal prong is held. For some crazy reason, they decided to have the most stressed part of the shoe some sort of weaved elastic instead of keeping it the same durable material as the rest of the straps; this elastic breaks apart and it eventually loses all elasticity. Again, I love these shoes, but I don't love paying nearly $100 for shoes that I can only wear for two weeks. If they ever fix this problem, I will gladly purchase these shoes.
