Beware when buying shoes. There certainly are some knock-down, gorgeous designer shoes to be had but they end up here for a reason. The majority of them are flawed in some way...ill fitting, mis-sized, etc. That's why they were returned to Nordstrom's to begin with, or never sold off the showroom floor. Most of them I've tried on are painful to walk in for one reason or another. Nonetheless, I have several pairs in my closet that were just too beautiful and too good a deal to pass up. I was seduced into thinking I could stretch them or maybe put those little tabs in the heels so I wouldn't be "walking out of them", but alas, nothing ever worked and they just sit in my closet looking beautiful but too painful to wear. :(
