I usually love Naughty Monkey shoes! The quality is always top notch and the designs are so different. I really loved the color and look of these shoes. However, they are made of some kind of basket weave straw materical or something. When I got them out of the box they were already kind of falling apart near the sole and heel. I could just imagine with a couple wears they would just get worse. I take care of my shoes and I have a shoe man who resoles, cleans, patches and puts new tips on my heels. He would not have been able to fix these.
