So I bought these at a different store. At first, I LOVED them. They worked GREAT as someone who teaches on her feet and has to have good arch support. the cushioning is divine and felt right, right off the bat. I could stand in them 8-10 hours and my feet would be fine. They look great in a suit, in business attire, you name it. I loved them. So what happened? This ugly crease happened. The material buckles up front and it looks awful. Almost everything about this shoe was ALMOST perfect. What kind of design flaw is this? Not even four months after I purchase them, they have a design failure? Come on! I'm so disappointed.
