I got these in the caramel color and loved them at first. They were so cute and comfy and I didn't mind that the leather was synthetic. I liked them so much I wore them for about two months non stop (mind you it was a regular California spring and even though they were too warm for that weather, I liked them so much that I wore them anyway).

Unfortunately, after about two months the heels (which are made of low-quality rubber of sorts and are HOLLOW!) caved in, unevenly, such that the inner side of the heel was substantially higher than the outer side. This made it so my ankles hurt after 10 minutes in them and are now impossible to wear.

Now, granted I probably put more pressure on the outer side of my foot when I step because I've noticed that my heels tend to wear out on the outer side more so than on the inner side. Still the heels on any of my other boots and shoes never caved in, so I know this problem is unique to these boots. I think it's because the heel is low quality. I took them to my shoe repair guy who can usually repair ANYTHING, but he said there's nothing he could do. I was so sad. I do not recommend them for that reason unless you step super lightly and evenly and are one of those people who can wear the same pair of boots for 10 years and hardly show any wear on them. Im not one of those people.
