text: These shoes are great looking.  The patent leather with the suede at the heel is very attractive.  The weird thing about them is how they feel while you wear them.  There's rubber &#34;pad&#34; on the outer sole where your toes and ball of your foot is.  It causes your toes to life and forces you back some onto your heels.  So the tips of your toes feel up.  I almost returned these shoes because I was worried I wouldn't be able to get used to it.
