I've worn them 15 times but now they creak like crazy when I walk. It's not the usual low noise of shoes that only I notice, but a loud and uncomfortable noise that was noticed by several people around me. It seems that the shoes are made very cheaply. $50 isn't $200, but it's not $20 either. Poor quality and a shame as they fit perfectly and look great. It seems this is exactly what I was looking for, but not with such a sound.
