text: The shoe is very pretty, and the heel hight is great. However, this particular model, the material is harder than expected, and so it rubbed my feet making them uncomfortable and a little painful to walk in. Three hours later, I was in serious pain, and sore, to the point I had to take them off. I anticipated that when I put them on, because of the way the felt in the front and took some sandals with me, just in case. I'm glad I did, because I could hardly walk in them by the third hour. Granted, I do have kind of delicate feet. Anyway, I really like the shoe and I already wore them so I can't return them, so I'll try using a bandaid and foot petals, and make another attempt at them. If not, I'll just have to find someone without such sensitive foot skin as myself to give them to. Grrrr, I really wanted to love these!
