Unfortunately, the top of this shoe rubs hard on my outside ankle bone. (lateral malleolus?) As soon as I put it on, it was too painful. The shoe is way too high on the outside. Dang. I like the shoes. Just too painful.  Also, buyers beware that this shoe runs quite small. I wear a 5.5 shoe. I bought the 6. I would return for a 6.5 if the outside wasn't so high and painful. Never worn a 6.5 in my life! Also, I clearly received someone else's returned shoes. The laces were tied funny, some packaging missing, dirt on the bottom of one shoe. So I would return them for that reasons alone. But it seems like it would be a great shoe for a lot of people.
