These shoes are absolutely beautiful and are very smooth on the inside, not scratching my feet at all.  I have bunions and hammer toes and need a VERY wide shoe...these fit.....just barely and are probably as close to a perfect fit as I will ever get with my problem feet. One other reviewer mentioned that they did stretch a little to conform to her feet and that's why I'm keeping them.  My feet feel really good in them the short times I've worn them.(I ordered size 8WW).
