text: These are very nice looking shoes, but the toe area was very tight on my foot and my pinkie kept wanting to sneak out through the gap.  I almost never have a problem with shoes being too narrow, so I was somewhat surprised.  I also didn't like the way the heel rubbed in the back.  On the plus side, the shoes appeared well made and the arch area was well supported and comfortable.  So for the right foot, these would probably be great.  Evidently I just don't have that foot!
