There's so much about this shoe that would make it perfect for my needs, but it just doesn't fit well. The size I usually wear was way too tight in the toes, so I returned it for a wider size, which was fine in the toes, but then the outer side near my ankle was too high and was rubbing me raw. I can still only wear them with socks. I really want to love them, but they're not the every day shoes I meant them to be.
