Blisters galore
The shoes are really cute and the cushioned platform feels great for the bottom of the foot. The one major problem with them that I've had is how they absolutely tear up the back of my heel if I wear them without socks. I don't have this issue with the usual flat Keds champions in the same size. I like the look of them so much I put in a new blister cushion over the back of my heel every time I wear them, but that only lasts a few hours and by the end of the day I have a giant wound on the back of my heel. It's gotten slightly better as I've broken them in but it never fully goes away. It think it's something to with the weight of the shoe from the platform pulling down repeatedly on the back of the heel that does this. I have to say it's poorly designed for this reason. They need to put in softer material on the back of the shoe so that heels are not murdered!
