Bargain buy Spectator platform shoes from Forever 21

I'm going to call upon our US readers for help, are Forever 21 shoes wearable? I couldn't believe the price of this pair of platforms and, being a UK dweller, I have no idea of their quality.

The shoes undeniably look good, although the top view looks a little shoddy craft-wise. The broguing detail is something I have a real fondness for, and the platform and heel are as sexy as ever. They're available from Forever 21 for just $19.80. So help me girls, are these the sort of shoes that are wearable, or are they bargain bin fodder for a reason?

I think these would be a nightmare quality-wise and comfort-wise, but they look good. Not like something on http://fashionpoirot.ebloggy.com, at least

Forever 21 is cheap cheap CHEAP. I would think of these as disposable shoes. They'll hold up for a night or two out on the town and then will be virtually unwearable. But sometimes disposable shoes are a better option that messing up your Blahniks at the bar..

the shoes are very cute might go get a pair. Forever 21 shoes you definetly cant strut your stuff in them all day but they are wearable and i think worth buying.

You can bet that these are all man made materials and will probably leave blisters on every inch of skin that the shoe touches. Not worth it. Save the $20 and put towards a better quality shoe. They are cute though!

guess it all depends on your toughness LOL yes, they are cheap, so you can expect cheaply made shoes. think payless shoes...umm probably still wont help.

if you were planning on getting them just for look factor, ie. sitting at a desk for work, or brunch with friends, & not walking/standing/dancing all day or night, you are good to go.

i have bought shoes there before (not these exact although i am tempted to go find myself a pair now) im not overly impressed with quality, but they do sell shoes cheap enough to feed my addiction & keep my utilities on at the same time.
