These shoes were designed for foot torture. Generally, I am the woman who wears stilettos to check the mail, eat a hotdog, or run a marathon. My feet are designed for impossible footwear. However, I wore these shoes to a basketball game, and I knew I was in trouble when my feet began to throb and go numb just by wearing them while sitting in the car. By the time I'd walked through the parking lot to the arena, my feet were bloody stumps.

Seriously, only after about an hour, blisters were forming on the balls of my feet and every single toe. Walking in these cheap foot-manglers became literally impossible. I ended up chucking them off, and walking through a filthy downtown city in my stocking feet like an idiot.

At $25, it's still no deal to have only been able to wear these shoes once. In fact, it's the exact same thing as paying someone $25 to smash your toes with a hammer.

For foot torture enthusiasts: They do run true to size, and arrive quickly.

Sane people: Don't buy!
