These shoes look nice although I feel the stitching down the center of the toe makes it look a little more casual than I'd hoped. The heel is just enough without being uncomfortable. I am wider across my toes and narrow at the heel so I sometimes have to order a wide size in some brands, some brands not. Based on my previous experience with LifeStride I decided to order a wide. They are TIGHT....so tight you can see the outline of my toe bulging out. I have never had a shoe that narrow. Unfortunately, I will have to return them for a refund because there is no wider size available.
