After reading through the reviews, I expected these shoes to be a total hit-- I was so wrong. The actual insole/foot bed is actual plenty comfortable, and the heel isn't bad to walk in either (and this is coming from someone who rarely wears heels). However, I found these shoes impossible to walk in because of the way the boot comes up in the front. It is very stiff and tall in the front and hits my shin in a way that hurts and actually prevents me from taking normal steps and walking naturally. Maybe for someone that takes small, more ladylike steps these would work(?), not sure. I gave them two starts because they were even cuter in person and not uncomfortable when standing still. I prioritize walking over looking cute, though. Returned.
