text: I have an &#34;aristocratic foot&#34; - size 10 SS, pointy, and flat footed to boot. It's very hard - almost impossible - to find shoes long and narrow enough for my foot, and his shoe actually fits well - finally, I have the correct size. And it is the soft leather that I require for my tender tootsies.<br />BUT...<br />even though the leather is soft, the edges of the woven strips rub against the tops of my toes!  Owiee. So I have to take the shoes off. I don't get it, really, since it feels smooth and soft to my fingers when I feel inside.<br />Hopefully, the rubbing will stop after a few more wears. It is a lovely shoe!  If that part gets better with wear, I will up my rating.
