I agree with the other reviewer who said that these shoes are just so crazy they work. If they had one less charm, chain, string of beads, what-have-you, it would all just be too much. My friend commented that it's as though you're wearing every kind of childhood fashion bracelet all in one adult shoe. If you want to arrest conversations with your shoes, look no further.

That all being said, the crazyness does take its toll, and the top of the shoe can adjust into uncomfortable positions, so that you have to stop and roll the sharp beaded component, or the charm flower component, etc out of the way of your skin.

I have since decided that I should reserve these shoes for what I initially bought them for.. special outings, instead of heels, so that their crazy appeal is fresh every time, and I'm pleased.
