When I first started to date my wife she had or I should say I got her a pair that looked like them, I will tell you I wore them 1 or 2 times and man they were different to have on my feet, different then high heels even.
My ex-girl's mom used to wear a pair of these (at least very similar). they were actually my (then) girlfriend's shoes but her mom wore them more than she did.
I'll admit to some fooling around with those shoes... sure.
