These are beautiful shoes. They look great on BUT they are sit down shoes. You know, the kind of shoes you put on, get in your car, drive to the destination/event, get out of car, walk a VERY short distance, say five steps, then sit down again at function/event until you're ready to get back in your car and drive home again and take em off. The straps are too thin for them to be really comfortable. No support whatsoever. Standing or walking in them for any length of time makes you want to take them off and fling them  violently across the room.
