I saw these in my local shoe shoppe last week, and fell in love with the plum color. However, when I went to try them on, I couldn't! The instep arch has no elastic and is very tight; there was no way I could get these on my feet. Dansko, please re-do these, as they are gorgeous shoes. I am waiting for the shoe shoppe to get the Nadine slide, as an alternative. It also is available in plum!
