"I love the style of these shoes, and the rubber sole, and the slightly pointed toe. But the leather on these is super hard...they cut into my big toe bone and the pinky toe side of my foot. I can wear them for a work day, and then not again for 4, 5 days. Good shoes to me look great and wear without you thinking "ow, ow, ow, ow" with every step. I'm keeping them, I love the style and the slight heel, but they're not out of the box awesome comfortable. These are NOT shoes you can walk all over town with and wear into the night. Maybe they'll stretch but ain't nobody got time for that."
