I really thought these shoes were beautiful (both in color - 'nude' and style) but realized that I prefer a pointed toe vs. an almond toe. They were a bit uncomfortable where the upper toe bone meets the curve of the top of the front of the shoe, and I could see within minutes these would be painful. Being that they are man-made materials and not leather, I didn't want to take the chance that they would not stretch (nor did I want to be in agony to try). Overall, the shoe is a beautiful color and design, but I had to return since they didn't work for me. Had they been more comfortable, I definitely would have kept them.
