When I first opened the package I was so excited, thes shoes come folded in a little silver bag inside a pretty box.  I loved the split sole and the leather felt nice.  Then I tried them on.  :  I have wide feet, and these were too wide for me!  The elastic/ribbon around the edges is very uncomfortable and rubbed against my instep.  Much more toe cleavage than I would expect with a ballet flat, too.  Unless you have really wide feet, I'd look for something else.
