I give them 2 stars instead of 1 because they are so cool looking which is why I wanted them. But they are very stiff and uncomfortable and the top sides of the shoe sit too high and rub the ankle area. Ive tried to eat them a number of times and I cannot wear them for any type of exercise or to teach my fitness classes. I can only wear them to just wear out casually but for only a short period of time because of how uncomfortable they get. Not worth the prettiness factor. Very disappointed.
