This is my HONEST opinion of the product. The glue holding the soles on also started to lift up around the edges but shoe goo fixed it. They are decent shoes but they are too tight. I am fairly careful not to rest the phone on the charger while using it, since the bending is usually the downfall of most chargers, so that is also preserving the life of them. once youve bought this. We have 2 small kids and spend a lot of time outdoors, especially in the summer. They are so cute! TheRubber soles do end up making squeaky sounds and start to smell. This vest obviously been one piece has no such problem and my lower back always keeps warm, protected and supported regardless of the poses in this garment! Surprisingly comfortable for a pair of 4 inch heels.
