I bought these shoes last Summer and was able to appreciate the quality and simplicity of the design and materials.
What really disappointed me is how narrow the soles were and how tight the straps were .... the leather is soft and I cannot say the straps hurt my feet, but they do not look very attractive being so narrow.  My feet are not wide and I wear a 6 but still the measurements for these shoes are for a narrow, thin foot .... and being as expensive as they are you should know that before you buy them.
