I wanted these shoes to work for me so much.  The foot bed is wonderful.  No complaint there.  My size 8 FLAT feet fit the foot bed of the size 8 fine.  And I like that they have a leather upper.  What makes this shoe unwearable for me is the fit of the upper between the toe area.  The edge of the upper just above the thong rubs and hurts my very flat feet.  If I thought getting one of those silicone inserts that fit around the thong would help I'd give that a try, but honestly don't think that will work for this particular problem. This shoe might work for some feet, but not for mine, and I do think part of the problem is that my feet are so flat.  Disappointed. The seller sent these shoes out super fast, so was very pleased about that aspect of the purchase AND that the shipping was free.  These shoes will be returned and perhaps will try a different style.
