"Let me begin by saying these are the hottest shoes in the whole world. And they have a crepe sole, and they are really, incredibly comfortable in terms of walkability etc. However.
I'm usually willing to sacrifice comfort for a hot pair of heels, and I don't mind a little awfulness upon a first/second wear. These, however, were BRUTAL. I'm talking foot carnage.
This probably has a lot to do with anatomy and the structure of my foot, so take note of that--I have a very high arch, which means that in contrast, I have a fairly low out step (what is that called?). Anyway, these gave me two HUGE, and very deep blisters right there--and I've never had a blister before there, ever.
The thing is, they were so comfortable otherwise that I figured I could totally walk as much as I had to, which was a little more than a mile. By the time I got there, though, I was completely hobbled (uh, buzzkill?). I think the problem was the combination of a very steep heel (the toe is completely flat, no platform) and the faux leather lining the shoe--the friction this created was no good. I'm going to try putting an insole inside them to avoid that friction, because I adore them enough to keep the romance alive.
The other thing is, like the other reviewer mentioned, those are staples on the bottom. They aren't held in by anything, and easily fall out. I'm not sure if this will affect how well the suede stays on, but it didn't look like anything was peeling up so far.
That said, they're so gorgeous and otherwise comfortable, but beware if you have a high arch. Like all Jeffery Campbell shoes, they run a little small, but less so than the others--I usually wear a 7, so I got an 8, and it's a teeeeeeny bit big."
