I've bought two pairs of DC's in the past. Everytime I wear them, the inner stitching on the right shoe folds back (possibly due to poor stitching?) and pokes at my foot! It really hurts! These were literally the cutest sneakers I've ever seen but when I tried them on, I knew I couldn't sacrifice to own them. I will do a lot to look good, but these shoes aren't worth it---go buy some Etnies.
