I bought the pewter metallic and wore these first without any hosiery and my toes hurt by the end of the day. The second time I wore them with footie socks and they felt wonderful and looked great with my work slacks. I quickly got the taupe color. I think Ill wear them often at work. Very professional looking and comfortable. I wear size 9 and they fit true to size. I do not have wide feet so narrow is not a problem for me. I do not think these are a good choice for people with wide feet.
