I've been using it for the last 2.5 months and lately (last month) my ankles have started to hurt really badly. At first I didn't think it was the shoes. But I've experimented with my other casual shoes and was able to conclude that it's shoe related. I have never had this problem. I think it has to do with the design and the padding near the ankle. Although I liked the material and the look, I can't wear it anymore.
