At first sight. The design and structure of the shoes look amazing, I loved wearing them! Put them on, wow, they look good, then I go and all I hear is squeaks, beeps. Oh man. I told myself not to worry, maybe it just has to break. Well, I wear it to work every day and for a little over a month the right boot hasn't squeaked and the left boot squeaks all the time, so I'm now aware of it myself. These shoes made me walk with my legs bent to avoid squeaking! For the price I understand I get what I pay for. It just seems like whoever ever made these shoes got distracted while working on the left pair and forgot to apply the proper glue or something. Unfortunately I will wear them until they are worn out because I will be saving my fancy shoes for formal events to prove to everyone that I am a BIG FORCE. :)
