The shoe itself looks spectacular and goes well with most outfits I can think of. However, the shoes cut into the heel very quickly. The material it is made of just hurts and I have found that I cannot walk in shoes for more than 20 minutes without heel pain. wear these shoes. This greatly reduced the pain, but I still feel the pressure of the material pressing into my heel. The tape I used was off-white in color and it actually blends into the wheel!) If you're not going to be wearing this shoe for long and are willing to take precautions to save your heels, then go for it. However, I would just save myself the pain and find another pair of shoes.
