text: These seem like they would be comfortable, other than the odd fact that there is a seam on the footbed that you can feel.  The top of the shoe has smooth leather, then there the leather ends and suede begins and where there is a transition you can feel a seam.  Maybe the foot would get used to this and it would be no big deal, but I couldn't tell so I returned them.  Also, in person they weren't as attractive as I'd hope; hard to articulate why, except that to me they had an &#34;old lady&#34; look to them.  Finally, the heel was a bit narrower than I'd expected.  I think they would be fine for most city walking, but I thought that for walking over cobblestoned streets or other uneven terrain, I could see twisting my ankle.  I decided to go for a more rugged-soled sandal.
