First of all, these shoes are adorable and I really, really wish they fit my wide feet. After reading the reviews they sounded like exactly what I was looking for: a soft, cushy foot bed like a pair I owned years ago and soft enough to mold to my wide feet even when they swell up with edema. I was so excited when the package arrived, as I had these on my wish list for months. However, when I put them on, I found that the foot bed is not very soft and they are not as flexible as anticipated. They are not wide enough even when my feet were not swollen, and the leather is not soft enough to stretch enough over time. I am so disappointed because these are very cute shoes and obviously of high quality. I have to return them, sadly.
