text: The toe box of this shoe is too small and makes it so these shoes cannot be worn for an extended period of time. It looks fine, but this is not a sophisticated style. I would rather spend 2x the money on a nicer shoe that fits better, instead of this mediocre one that neither stands out nor is comfortable.  update: This shoe does not give, is not looking better over time. Look for basic nine west pumps that are small and comfy, you'll be much better off.
