well i knew past reviewers had said these shoes were uncomfortable, but they look so nice! especially with business attire! im about to do an internship and bought these.  ive been breaking them in slowly and found that if you wear stockings or put some lotion on your feet prior to wearing them the chafing around your toes decreases.  i know that itll be a killer wearing them throughout the work day, but with looking good there has to be some consequences! Glad i bought them!
