The shoe has a fundamental design flaw which renders it completely useless. There is an abnormal sharp curve in the insole at a point where your foot is flat (see pictures), which results in the sensation of walking with a lego in your shoe.  Specifically, the curve in these shoes sits too far forward from where your heel ends, and I literally could not stand in these.  For what it is worth, the shoe does indeed look like the picture, and runs true to size.
