I really, really wanted to like these shoes. I love the chunky look and thought they were very cute with jeans and dresses. I tried them on in a shoe store when I was traveling and they seemed very comfortable, so when I got home I ordered them from Amazon. Unfortunately, they more I wore them, the more uncomfortable they got. I think the problem may be that the leather is very stiff and does not conform to your feet. I got nasty blisters on my fourth and fifth toes on both feet and eventually couldn't wear them at all without taping up my toes like a boxer's hands! After six months, I gave up on them and donated them to Goodwill.
