I bought the Joyce wedge sandals and although they were quite stiff, and a different color than pictured, I wore them. As I walked in them the first time I noticed that they made a funny loud clacking sound. The next thing I knew I went down in WHOLE FOODS after sliding on the bedazzled sole of the shoe. I think that it's a nice touch but in a wedge in an odd place. Perhaps the jewel wasn't hammered in properly but I think this is a dangerous addition to the shoe line. I looked at other shoes and the jewel is placed in a location closer to the heel that doesn't cause a clacking sound or slippage and a broken wrist. Sorry, but I won't be buying this line again.
