... you DON'T purchase these shoes. I wore them one time to work, and that's all it took. I'm going to see if I can return them, and if not, I might donate them or torch them. These are the most painful shoes I've ever had the misfortune of wearing. The heel is too loose and the toe area too tight. These should fit my feet, but they don't. I skinned the top of my toes off walking from the parking garage to my office, and had to get a bandaid for each toe on each foot to make wearing these shoes less excruciating, since I was stuck with them for the day. They are cute, and look cute on, but nothing is worth putting up with that kind of pain. And these certainly weren't worth the price I paid for them, either.
