The shoe looks really nice once you get it on, but getting it on is a bear to do.  The part under the strap on the top is really tight, so it makes it really hard.  I am thinking about taking them to a shoe repairman to see if he can cut that part out, so it would just leave the straps, then I think it would be a lot easier to get on and I think it would still look good.  For people with high insteps, like I have, its a hard shoe to get on.  So therefore I don't think I could recommend this shoe.  I am keeping them because I think they can be altered and still look good and fit better.
