The shoe is pretty. Toe is a bit pointy but not bad. The real reason for returning the shoes, they run a bit on the tight side. I purchased a 9.5 AA, the shoes were tight, especially the right shoe, my smaller foot, this foot is a size 9 AA. I compensate for the difference in foot length with shoe inserts, this always works out fine for me, however the right shoe was especially tight. Also the right shoe had a slight defect. On the toe of the shoe there was some discoloration. Nice shoes but you really don't know what they look like until they arrive and you try them on.
