So I did not wish to spend $395.00 USD, on the Red Ganni - Dual-Buckle Slingbacks. Nicepairs.com version is cute, but not that well made. The name inside of the shoe is "Funny She Jill". I wear a US womens 11. I was happy to see half sizes up to my size and beyond. I ordered a half size up, a US 11.5, still the slingback strap around the back of my heel is super tight. I have to use a shoe horn to get them on and off. My back of the ankle area is sore and starting to blister, after wearing for a few hours. I have ordered a spool of flat red elastic cord, 1/2 wide, to take to the shoe repair shop, have them re-sew a longer piece on the strap, to get loosened it. Elastic poorly sewn on to the vinyl, that is the white part on the inside where it is cut. Are they worth the $103.00 USD that I paid for them, probably not... But they will be okay and I'm sure you get what you pay for and I will enjoy them for a while. I'll bet at $395.00 USD the actual Ganni shoes are perfect, right? Maybe? Ya think?...
