There's a couple of things about these shoes that make them disappointing: a) I guess DM has changed the toe shape on the 1461, because these look more like old lady nurse shoes than the cool DM's I know and love; and b) they are the first pair of shoes I ever owned that bite my foot at the Achilles/heel after wearing them for only a couple of hours.  Hopefully, I'll "wear into" them, but they're still not going to be the favorite DMs I'd hoped they'd become.  :(
