These shoes are adorable, and they look nice on my wide, nearly flat (but low volume) feet. The first time I wore them, they rubbed the backs of my ankles terribly. Lacing them tighter resolved that issue. After wearing them a handful of times (out to dinner, to my desk job, nothing taxing), I noticed that the heel of the sole was coming off of one shoe, and the cork-look wrap on the wedge looked rough on both shoes. Id give them 5 stars for comfort and style, but 1 star for durability. I wish Id spent $20 more to buy some nicer ones!
