text: I really liked the style of these.  Unlike some of my other Taos shoes, they didn't run wide at all, and I do have a somewhat wide toe box, so my feet felt a little squished in there.  For people with a normal width foot, I'm sure it would be fine.  Also, I found that the instep area was a little low for me and took a few wears to break in to be comfortable.  They are good quality leather, and once they were broken in, they've been great!  The heel is high enough to look professional for work but not so low that it looks dowdy.
