text: Boo, these flats in Leopard are too narrow on my feet. I do have wide feet, but these are much narrower and generally less comfortable than another pair of the exact same shoes that I own.<br /><br />A while ago I bought these Breckelles flats in black, in the same size (8). I have problem feet, but these were incredibly comfortable once I added gel heel and arch cushions (for support and padding, these have none and I add them to every shoe) and a foam heel pad (to prevent rubbing). Man, I loved those shoes; it's very infrequent that I can find a pointed-toe flat that is wide enough and which accommodates gel inserts. I wore those shoes a few days a week for months. Of course, they're not designed for longevity and they got torn up, so I bought this pair in Leopard as a replacement.<br /><br />The new shoe is much narrower at the ball of the foot; it pinches my bunions horribly, which the earlier pair didn't. The material of this pair feels more stiff, and almost cardboard or paper-like, and the sole is different; it's covered in a felt-like material that comes off as you walk, so that your soles seem to have lint balls on them. I wore them twice and gave them to Goodwill. I don't think I'll take the risk on another pair being similarly narrow. Wide feet, beware.
