Wanted a pair of 20's era-looking shoes. Carefully ordered the wide width but the shape of the toe box squeezed the toes together. I knew this would mean pain after wearing for awhile. Longer shoes still would constrict the toes because of the shape of the toe area, and would also flop up and down as you walked. Returned them and am still looking for suitable AND COMFORTABLE dressy shoes. It took several years to get my toes to unbend from being forced into a B width vs my true D. Not willing to damage them again for the sake of fashion.
