text: The toe box is slightly narrower than it is in other Avia styles.  I mostly wear Avia shoes, and have never had this happen.  After recent foot surgery, it's a bit annoying, but I am hoping they will break in.  The rubbing occurs around the outer edge of the pinky toe, more on the left foot (the non-surgical foot, weird).  Anyway, I usually would give 5 stars, but this narrower toe box is annoying.
