It's true what people are saying: the toe of the shoe is very wide.  I have wide feet so when I read people complaining about it I was actually encouraged, but the toe is too wide even for me.  My foot doesn't slip out of the shoe like some report, but it loose enough that I worry about blisters if I were to spend all day in them.
I purchased these in hopes of wearing them for backpacking in Europe. They are certainly cute enough to escape attention but I worry about the lack of arch support for such a venture, in addition to foot slippage.
I may have to sacrifice looks after all, since this shoe will be going back :(
