I LOVE the way these shoes look- the simple but elegant design. The curvy lines give it just a little something different. So cute!

BUT, as soon as I got them on my feet, I felt very differently. I hated the way these shoes felt on my feet. Partially due to the curves I loved so much on the bands, the shoes stick into your skin in certain places. Additionally, when I walk, I felt the back of the ankle dig into my ankle. The material feels slightly plastic-y, which basically means there's less give and it hurts more to walk in. Also, I do not have wide feet (I've never had to buy wide shoes), but the front of the shoe narrows so quickly that my toes hang over the edges on both sides.

My final point about these shoes is that they come to a very, very small point at the tip of the heel. It looked like the end would chip off the first or second time I wore them. Ultimately, even though I loved the style, I couldn't justify buying them when I knew I wouldn't wear them (because I find them to be so uncomfortable).
