I really tried liking these heels but they just didn't come through. One day I had an event that I was late to and I powered walk and these shoes messed up my feet. I do have very sensitive feet; I get blisters quickly everywhere. Also on the dolce vita website a lot of people complained about the straps. They don't work. I wear these heels with long dresses and just tie them up somehow. I should have not bought these but I wanted them even though I don't like heels with these straps that need to be tied up because they slip randomly when I'm walking and I get embarrassed. Anyways they're pretty brand new and I didn't want to toss them, I hope they work for their next owner. ☺️
