Idea Slip-On (Women)

I like the shoe and style, BUT the edges of the shoes are so sharp that they literally cut into my ankles. They are simulated suede leather and instead of a rolled smooth edge it is hard and sharp. The size is good and they are a bit narrow but I have a narrow foot so that works. I'm still trying to "break them in" to see if I can soften the edges some way.

I hesitate to re-purchase these shoes. My first pair lasted 2 years before the soles blew out, so I bought a second pair because I loved the quality of them. However, one of the soles came almost entirely unglued within 6 months on my second pair. I hope the second pair is a one-time fluke as the other shoe is still holding on strong, but I will be very disappointed if these shoes aren't as high-quality as the first pair led me to believe. As far as sizing, the shoes are a bit narrow, so if you wear a medium, I would buy a wide. Outside of the sole issue, the rest of the shoe holds up very well, showing moderate wear and tear after 2 years. I love the sleek design and lightly tapered shape, and these shoes are great for dressing up a pair of jeans and a cardigan for work. Once you break them in (about a week's wear), they're very comfortable, and I wear them 5 days a week for 12 hour days without fatigue. If the sole on my second pair held up better, this shoe would get 5 stars, but as is, I'm not sure I would recommend buying another pair. Will update my review should I purchase a third pair and not have issues with the soles.
