Ok, I'll try to make this short and sweet.

I got the shoes on Tuesday.  Today is Friday.  And I have two very large sores on the outside of both my ankles....right where the buckle sits.

I tried all kinds of things like heel grippers, band-aides, and even a panty liner cut to match the shape of the inside of the shoes. Boo Hoooo!  Nothing worked.

The shoes are so sexy and other than the rubbing buckle or seam, they are very comfortable. I even tried loosening the straps but hat was useless.

I wear high heels four to five times a week and they're normally 3 inches or higher (I'm a short gal so I go for shoes that will give me some height) so I am accustomed to walking in heels.

I'm going to look around for another remedy because they are SUCH NICE LOOKING SHOES and I received so many compliments on them.  I got them in the taupe color and it is a perfect taupe.

If I find a remedy I will update this review.
