"The shoes are beautiful and I would keep them and try to make them fit better if they matched my gown. You can see in the pic that I have a high arch and they did not fit there. I also have a slightly narrow foot so the band across the toe box didn't fit. It didn't touch at my big toe knuckle, but then pinched at the peep toe opening. Lastly the navy is medium and my gown is a very dark navy. I chose to recommend these, but it just depends on your need. I had no illusions these would ever be considered comfortable."
