I purchased these shoes in the "nickel" color.  They were a little tight until I switched in my own insoles, and then they were fine.  I have worn them now all day on two occasions, and they are comfortable.  In terms of the design, though, I wish the straps and connected black trim around the back of the shoe were leather (not fabric) and matched the patent leather around the toe.  I was also hoping for a shinier "silver" look on the leather body of the shoe (love silver shoes).  The color of the shoe is actually a shiny-ish medium gray.  These are just design quibbles, however, and these shoes really ARE cute and comfortable.
