The 1st time I saw these shoes, I fell in love... I knew I had to have them! I enjoyed the fact that they were individually wrapped in the package. The insoles are slightly cushion which is a very good thing. The price was a bit much than i'd normally pay but they where worth it! No I am not a stripper, but i have to admit if you are looking to appear sexy or feel sexy these sandals will definately do the trick...I'm also considering getting the red and black ones ;-)
