I bought these because of the good reviews and they looked cute. First they don't look as cute on my feet as expected. Second they hurt the back of my foot, the elastic band rubbers on my what I think is my achilles. The only positive is that they have nice cushioning and what I believe to be a leather bottom. I am hoping that the elastic stretches out some over time and stops hurting. I am going to get the bandaids out right now!
