They don't even look comfortable, but, then again, that may not be what they were designed for.

Rule 1: Take care of your feet! You can't pay too much for good footwear.

Don't laugh. I had a pair like the Hustler. I hated them but the G.F. thought they were fashionable so I didn't argue. Until a heel broke and I found out the repair cost would be more than the shoes cost new.
