So far, these hurt like hell around the edge of the shoe, especially on my Achilles/ankle...
That being said, I used to be a ballet dancer and I can handle this. Lol I've been wearing them for short periods of time taking walks outside or going to a QUICK trip to a store, etc...they get a tiny bit better each time. They're so damn cute and were such a good deal...and I love the brand so much lol...I'll keep trying to wear 'em in!
