I concurr with some other reviewers about the comfort level of these shoes. I have long toes and they hit the top of the shoes by sliding forward easily. Wearing footsies does not help as my feet still slide down. I can wear the non-slipped socks and it would be ok but it does not look that great! So, unless you can find a way to get your feet to "go with the shoes", then it's not a good buy regardless of pricing. I think that I can wear the ugly look in the winter with thick non-slipped socks.
