These are the most uncomfortable flats Ive ever had. Although they are made with good quality leather they are so stiff in the toes area that my toes get numb after a few hours of wearing them at work. It feels like there is some kind of hard material between the inner and outer layer of leather to keep the shoes in the right shape but impossible to wear and I don't think its the matter of breaking them in.
What a shame because I really like them.
