"I looked a long time for shoes to match a mocha colored dress I was wearing as a bridesmaid in my brother's wedding. The color was great...but after wearing these shoes for a few minutes with heel grippers and ball of the foot pads,I had to take the toe pads out because my feet hurt so much AND the heels are TOO HIGH !! lack of padding on the soles makes your feet hurt !! I can walk in heels but these are just way too high and i ordered them a half size larger. 3 days later and my knees are still painful but my feet aren't throbbing anymore. 4 stars because I ordered on line and got the shoes a few days later."
