I agree.

I have a few pairs of banana shoes; I bought all but 1 pair at the outlet mall (in other words, I paid less than $15-20 each) and the one I bought at the store was marked down to $38. I think some of their shoes are really pretty and tempting, but they are WAY overpriced and not worth it. The pairs I do have aren't that bad in the comfort department; the highest heeled ones make my feet tired by the end of the day, but what heels don't? I guess the comfort level varies from shoe to shoe there. I like the pair you've shown, but I would wait until they go on sale. If they're sold out by the time they're discounted, I would search for a similar style in a different brand.
