text: These are very sharp-looking shoes which seem to be very well made.  One thing they are not is comfortable.  I chuckled at some of the reviews which said they are comfortable, when you are essentially walking on a thin leather pad on top of a piece of wood on top of a thin piece of rubber.  I like these shoes, but people should know exactly what they are getting: the male equivalent of high heels.<br /><br />Luckily, my foot is narrow enough to sneak a padded insert into the heel, which makes them much better.
