These shoes are lovely, good quality materials and accurate color, however, they are the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever had. Seriously, I even bought a whole size bigger following advice from previous reviews, and still, they just hurt because of the elastic on the heel is so tight it cuts through the skin and pulls back the shoe squishing your toes. I am sitting here in my office writing this review as my feet twist in pain, wishing I could just take them off and go barefoot the rest of the day. I think I am just going to go home at lunch hour and change shoes, this is horrible.
