I've never bled like I did with these shoes. I commute to work which consists of taking 2 trains to the city everyday. After about 15 minutes of walking I limped into the closest drug store to buy a box of band-aids to cover the cuts on both my feet. Never in my life have I ever experienced pain like that before with FLATS of all shoes. I immediately returned them that evening when I got home. Luckily I had an extra pair of shoes at work but the damage to my feet was done already. NEVER AGAIN will I buy her shoes.
