Been pining for these and another tsubo style similar to these for over one year. I finally made the purchase and am happy with it. My toes are generally, longer and touch the inside quite a bit so that it partially curls. At first, I wasn't sure if this would cause much discomfort and it does not. I ordered an 8, and a size larger would have been too big for my narrow feet. The heel is comfortable, and lightweight. Not too high.
