While these boots are lovely in person, comfortable to walk in and fit perfectly, I am outraged at the poor quality. I have owned several pairs of Breckelles, and none have been made with such shoddy workmanship. In fact, I question if these are even authentic Breckelles. On my third casual wear, without even so much as any wear on the soles, a heel just broke off as I was walking on the crowded Vegas strip. Miles from our Airbnb and completely mortified, I had to detour an entire bachelorette party to CVS so I could purchase a trashy pair of flats. With only a clutch, I couldn't carry them around all night so I could bring them home to try to repair them. I had to throw my brand new boots in the trash. Now, I find out its 2 weeks past my return date and I cant even get my money back on these shoes that totally ruined my evening. A friend on the trip is an engineer and laughed out loud at the idea that 4 tiny staples would support a woman walking. Stay away!!!
