My wife already owns the high heel version of this shoe so I decided to get her the flats. The high heel version is excellent quality and she expected the same from the flats. First off the flats feel like they are made out of packing tape or low quality duct tape. Second, the lining of the bottom of the shoe is bigger than the shoe itself (she wears a 5), so when it was placed in the shoe, it left creases, wrinkles, and folds in the sides and bottom of the shoe (inside only). Without socks these shoes are uncomfortable to wear due to the lack of craftsmanship. We've never had a problem with anything from Iron Fist until we bought these. If these were $10, they might be worth it, but for anything more you are getting ripped off.
