Ok maybe it's just me because I am flat footed & have super picky feet, and high arches hurt my tootsies. But i thought that these shoes had way too high of a hard inner arch.  It was literally painful for me to take a step. They are attractive shoes, shame they did not work out for me. Let me add that I've recently gotten used to minimalist sneakers from asics & new balance that i wear every day, i don't know if that has anything to do with my foot's intolerance of these shoes, just something to keep in mind if you are flat footed & doing the minimalist thing....So i'm rating them 4 stars for the seemingly good quality construction & overall appearance, knowing that although i could not the average person could probably walk in these just fine.

Fit was true to size, i'm normally an 8 in athletic shoes, got these in 8's and they fit perfect.
