"These shoes are absolutely adorable and very comfy... that said, they are not made very well. I have had them 4 weeks. After 3 weeks the elastic band under the "only-for-show" buckle has stretched so much: only on one side!...that I've had to try to sew the underneath part of the buckle to the actual shoe. It should have been made that way .Or the buckle should have actual use."
