I bought a pair of shoes from Macy's and they have torn apart just by being walked in. I don't do anything crazy in these besides walking down streets for everyday tasks (e.g. Walking to buy groceries). Shoes should not be worn down this easily just by walking in them. I tried to get a refund or replacement and was told I could not be given one since they weren't purchased online. Waste of $40, they otherwise could've been very cute. Spend elsewhere unless you want to replace these every other day.
