I bought these for a pageant I am competing in and so far, they're great. I haven't really walked in them a ton, but from the few walks that I have walked- they do the job. These shoes are stable and sturdy which is nice because I don't feel like I'm going to break an ankle. HOWEVER, The straps that do go around the ankle are a bit large, so if you have skinny ankles- you might have to poke another hole in the strap to tighten them. I bought these particular shoes because of the straps that go around the toe, I have a small 34;bunion34; so normal straps that go around the toes are always way too tight for me, but I like the criss cross design of these straps as they go around the smallest part of my feet. Another pro about these straps is that you don't feel like your feet are slipping forward too far because the straps stop them from hanging over the edge. So far- they are great. There is a cushion that is built in which is nice and fancy. The rhinestones aren't really my style but they don't look like cheap plastic rhinestones and they are AB rhinestones. The ball of the foot on the shoe is a bit wrinkly but I don't mind too much. Worth it.
