I loved the way these sandals look.  They were never that comfortable for me, unfortunately.  The back of the ankle strap would cause blisters if I wore them for more than a short time. I read all the other great reviews and wish the sandals worked as well for me.  Before buying shaping type shoes, google the name of the shoe and achilles tendon or ankle injuries.  I wore these shoes for a few months and now I am having problems with one of my ankles.  I can't say for certain that it's from these shoes, but I've never had a problem like this before.  It's too bad, because they're really cute shoes. :(
