Just got these in the mail today. They look better than in pictures. The insoles are very soft. I tried them on without socks at first and they didn't hurt my feet at all. They're a little stiff but after walking around for 15, 20 minutes they softened and felt very comfortable. I like the cut at the end. Some shoes have high cut and they rub on your ankle knuckles. These shoes are cut low but your feet won't slip off. They look very elegant and feel wonderful. Wanna get another pair in different color!
