Even though I read the previous review I thought I'd give these a try anyway since they're just what I was looking for.  I also thought that from the photo, the vamp was cut low enough for me...but it's not and this does hit the bunion area.  The low toe box doesn't help much either.  The heel is also loose...but that is an issue I have with most shoes.  So if you have a slightly wide foot/narrow heel with a high instep, these probably won't work for you. I give them 3 stars because they are good looking and had some nice padding in the insole.
