I loved these shoes when we received them.  They seemed well built, the leather was soft and flexible, and they were absolutely beautiful.  Unfortunately, they didn't fit so well on my daughter's foot.  She has a high arch and these cut into the top of her toes.  I know this wasn't caused by sizing because we actually ordered a bigger-than-needed size so she'd have room to grow into them.  Overall, these are lovely shoes but are not made for high arches.
