text: I coveted these shoes for months.  Once they were on markdown I snatched them up.  I've gotta say, I'm pretty disappointed.  The shoe itself runs on the smaller, more narrow side, which is typical for EUR shoes.  Unfortunately what those generally have in ample arch support and ventilation these lack.  The shoes are fine, with some sort of nylon or sock, but I personally found my feet growing sore and tired in them far sooner than most of my other shoes of a similar style and height.  They are quite pretty, but for the price I anticipated better craftsmanship.  Great for a few hours while all dolled up, but stow something more comfortable in your purse.
