"I was pleased with how comfortable these shoes were when trying them on in the store, and despite some initial misgivings about the stylishness of the mixed fabric ended up buying them simply due to the comfort. On the very first day and hour of wearing them, when walking from my car into my office the heel caught on the pavement and a hole at least an inch long was torn through the plastic on the heel, exposing a white interior. I'm not sure if it was just a fluke misstep or poor construction, but either way it's annoying that the shoes were destroyed on the very first day of use."
