I can't tell you how many compliments I get wearing these shoes. The first time I wore them, the back zipper gave me a blister on my achilles. The next 2-3 times I left them half zipped to keep them from rubbing, but, thankfully, once the leather stretched out I could wear them comfortably, for long periods of time (I walk 30 min to work and back each day), with no problems. So, get these shoes, break them in with 2-3 days of extended wear and voile! Perfect shoes for summer. Fit was true to size completely.
