This is such a beautiful, and I am sure well-made shoe.  Unfortunately, the stitching on the insole leaves me two choices;  Either, I take sandpaper and try to sand down the stitching under the balls of my feet, or I try to return these shoes.  I doubt I can return them, because I've worn them.  After one day of minimal walking, one section on the bottom of my foot has been torn up.  Not good, CK.
