I actually double checked the sized to see if they were really a 12. the what should not happen sometimes does happen. If I dont keep at least one carton under it, I think it may reach the bottom of the shelf after a couple days! le bijou parfait pour toutes occasions ?? My second review after 1 month. These are great sandals! There was some let downs yes and I could have returned the headset but for my use and such, I like it definitely for the price I got it at. The padding is pretty thin, so if you?ve got swollen feet and are looking for comfort, these aren?t the slippers for you. They still look cute but i think its unnecessary. Wonderful space saver.
