"The seam at the ball of the feet of these shoes rubbed my feet raw. Everything else about them is lovely, but this made them unbearable. Wore them for a wedding and cringed in pain through most of the day. There should never be a seam right at the ball of the foot- no reason that inner lining couldn't extend to the toe!"
"I bought these for my boyfriend for Christmas (after some not-so-subtle hints). He LOVES them. Says they are comfortable, but they did need some breaking in first. He wears an 8.5 or 9, and I purchased a 9. The 9 was slightly too long but completely wearable. The leather looks durable and soft."
