First let me say I love these shoes. BUT... even though I am a very traditional 7, my toes bump the front. I took them to the cobbler, but to no avail... the heel stretched out for a little while, but then after wearing them for the day, they felt no different. They look great and feel great on the footbed, but the toe is unacceptable.... so... I bought another pair, in a different style, in a 7.5... STRANGE!!!! they were looser in the heel, but overall felt THE SAME... actually worse... they hurt my toes even MORE... felt like they were trying to flatten my toes down from above. I really can't explain this, but it is disappointing as the shoes look amazing and the footbed is awesome :(
