These shoes are almost perfect, very elegant style, but with one minor problem, which I am working on resolving. Guess nobody's feet are totally symmetrical! The left shoe fits perfectly over the instep, the right one cuts in a little, but I've put it on a stretcher a couple of nights and it seems to gradually loosen a little. I can wear them a whole day without much problem, but as my feet swell by late afternoon, my right instep begins to complain. Another night on a "stretcher" may soften it some more.
