"I have them in the bronze color and they are my favorite pair of shoes. They look so amazing on my feet and I get compliments from everyone who sees them. However, the straps around the toes rub my skin in some places and it got pretty painful very quickly the first time I wore them. I suggest bandages or moleskin before wearing them. It makes a huge difference. Standing around in them is not the most comfortable, but still doable. I could probably stand around in them about an hour straight before I need to take them off. But most shoes hurt me, so maybe its just me. Still my favorite pair of shoes."
