These shoes did not work for me. I bought them to wear in a wedding - had to wear silver shoes, which are hard to find that don't look super trashy or have bling all over them. I was excited to find these simple, elegant shoes. However, they are impossible to walk in, and the band really squeezes the bottom of your foot. I suppose they would work if you were just wearing them to bed, like another reviewer does, but I don't think they work as a functional shoe.
