"These shoes are simply gorgeous!!!! HOWEVER, the pain is out of this world. The arch feels misplaced and will make you want to cut your foot off at the ankle. The stiching on the toe line is torture. And dont forget the strap between your toe. I tried to put expensive gel pads and cushon tape but it all failed miserably. The suffering is just not worth it! With much reget, I was forced to Re....Ret....Retur.....Return Them! (sorry, I have trouble saying that word when I refer to shoes) RIP Lucia"
