I was so excited for these shoes--they felt great when I put them on and were very cute.  However, I wore them and by the end of my first commute into work I had a bleeding blister on my heel and several cuts on the bottoms of my ankles from where the shoe rubs against it.  I think the tops are just too high.  I put them on today and my feet were just screaming in pain, so I'm not sure how I"m going to break them in.  But I can't return them because there was no packing slip and I have gotten blood stains on them in several places from them tearing up my feet.  i may just try to break  down the sides a bit and give them another shot, but I was very disappointed with the pain.
