"When I used them the first time I got blisters on my big toes but after a couple of times of wearing them they are now much better. I guess the leather over the toe area has softened with the use. One of the snaps on one of the shoes is a bit loose and tends to open but as it has two per shoe, they do not open completeley. They still hold in place. I hope the other snap does not fail. Otherwise I will need to send them for repair. As I live abroad cannot return them or exchange them."
