Cheap construction 

Yup, that's what I figured.

That's interesting because either JS's fit or they don't. But if they fit they are real easy to walk in.  In fact I will be wearing my JS knee boots today with faux suede and block 4 inch heels.  A wet day with down pours.

I'm not saying that they don't fit, I'm saying that they don't last very long without failing in one way or another.

I've just bought these: https://www.asos.com/devils-advocate/devils-advocate-heeled-cuban-boots-in-leopard/prd/204126104#colourWayId-204126112

I needed to go up a size. Lower heel than my other leopard print boots from Asos but they are real leather. All indications on the website and box is that these were expensive boots - over £200 originally. I paid £46 by getting new customer discount, easily done by signing up with a different email address. They seem well made and comfortable but I haven't yet worn them outside. Soles, although synthetic, are a bit slippery. I'll rough them up before wearing outside.

Interesting boots - but don't wear them on safari or you might become a target!

These appear to be a recent ASOS introduction; sizes UK 6 - 12 and £56.00.   The height of the rounded heel looks to be close to 4".   Sleek looking - although the chain detail may not appeal, but is much more discreet than that on previous offerings.   Now, this is a boot that I would wear!   

I did succumb to these; details here: https://hhplace.org/topic/25644-asos-chelsea-boots/

Good luck I'm very disappointed in every Asos shoes I've bought. 

I've got some 5 inch stilettos from asos size 9 uk and must say one of the best heels I've owned. Snug fit but after a few wears they were great. Beat my 5 1/2 inch pleaser i currently have. Did have some pleaser sexy 20 and they were a nice fit

I'm wondering if the ASOS U.S. are different and in a bad way. Mine are clearly Chinese origin and similar to the cheaper heels found on Aliexpress.

I don't think the ASOS products differ between the countries.   If you look at a selection of reviews, it seems clear that US (and other) customers are commenting on the same items as are sold in the UK - particularly when sizing differs.   But China does seem to be the source of most if not all, and quality is sometimes an issue.
