I really like these shoes because they are very cute and give you some height. They do not have the mush sole which I think is the problem. After raving about Teva and how much I love all of their shoes, I walked around Chicago a lot today and got blisters on the bottom of both feet and the side of my right root where one of the straps hits. I don't regret buying these shoes and will wear them but only for very light walking. I'll stick to my Tevas with the mush sole for any longer periods of walking.
