So to restate the best criticisms from the previous reviews, as well as to add a bit of my own judgments:

1. I got a size 7.5. They were too loose around my calves and ankles (even with socks), and the inside rubbed my Achilles tendon to the point where I realized if I walked even for an hour in them I'd be bleeding. (-1 star)

2. Another major flaw is that the front part of the wedge has an upwards incline so that if you lean forward a bit, you will most likely lose your balance. And if you happen to trip while wearing these, you'll fall flat on your face with no hope of rescuing yourself. (-1 star)

3. Because of the above statements, walking in these is truly uncomfortable and a hellish experience if you're an NYC or other busy city gal. (-1 star)

4. The material which is inside the fabric of the boot must be cheap, because not only does it feel tacky on the inside, it crinkles when you move it. My sister even commented, it reminds her of the stuff cheap Halloween costumes are made of. If this were the only flaw, I wouldn't care about it or even mention it, but all its other flaws make it stand out. (-0.5stars)

The total is 1.5 stars, which rounds up to 2 amazon stars.

These boots looked so great in the picture, but don't judge a book by its cover!! I had great expectations since another pair of Michael Antonio boots I bought were fantastic and fit just right, however these didn't meet the mark and were promptly returned on the day they arrived (today).

I would NOT recommend.
