text: First impression:<br />The fit is close across the instep.  My size 11 fits well in the toes and elsewhere but was very tight across the top.  The leather is also very rigid and inflexible.<br />The net effect of these 2 elements is to make walking in this a bit of a challenge.  Granted, this is my first impression after wearing once.  I will update later on.<br />Gorgeous shoe but 3 stars for a close fit.
