Problems with these shoes: 1. You need to order 1/2 size smaller than your usual size.2. They are a little heavy and the protruding sole on the heel makes your feet appear larger.3. The sole is made of plastic and does NOT slip. Apply "Shoe Goo" to the soles to improve traction.4. The sole is a bit hard. They must weigh at least 145 pounds to make them flexible.5. The heels slip a little when walking. You can't walk in these shoes. With all of that. They are one of a kind and I still wear them a lot because I like unique, cool looking shoes.
