I never got blisters from any of mine, and I never stopped wearing them either. I hit puberty at 7 and never got puberty blockers (Irish Catholic parents) so I was done growing before high school started and today at 47 I still wear a US girls street shoe size 2.5-3.

I have the ballet-flat style as my go-to staple; mules for around the house--easy to wash after cutting grass; wedge heels for dress up days at work;; fisherman style or Mary Jane styleor wear under jeans. Since I do wear kids sizes, I haven't paid more than $20-25 per pair, mostly in shipping since the designs are more varied and small sizes are easier to find on the Asian market and (until the recent tariff insanity) cheaper.

If you are considering buying these, don't unless you have flat, short toes, flat to low arches, and a broad heel with non-prominent ankle bones.

I recently saw these Steve Madden-branded jelly mesh shoes at Walmart and gave them a try. I knew the minute my feet got in them that I would have probs. There's no shaped toe box, so there's pressure on the top and sides of my toes; the vamp is flat and the upper put pressure on my (high) arches; the collar comes up too high and is going to cut into the underside of my ankle bones; the heel counter is high and wide and the back of my foot from ball to heel is going to slip everywhere in the heel of this shoe. I put them back pretty quick and will not be wearing these. I do jot recommend these either unless you have the specified foot shape.
