I'm always a bit skeptical on heels that are less than $30. I decided to give this brand/style a try since the product reviews somewhat eased me that this actually a great shoe. They arrived in a timely manner, and when I opened the box I was very surprised. The shoes are made well and look nice for the price of what you pay for. What also surprised me was that in the box were replacements if the heel bottom degrades. I am in love with these shoes. I plan on buying more pairs of the colors, especially for the price I paid. They fit true to size and do not smoosh your toes. No need to break in, they're surprisingly comfortable to walk in and you don't feel like you're ice skating trying to find balance.
