This is an exquisitely designed shoe. Its simple but elegant look is dashing as a formal shoe to be used with a tuxedo. But for some reason, I simply can't get the right size. The first pair I ordered was a 9 1/2 medium. It squeezes my toes and seems too short for my normal size. I liked the shoe so much and because it's such a reasonable price (around $59), I thought I'd find the answer in getting a wide since it's Italian made and their wides run narrower than the similar size in an American shoe.  Well, the second pair arrived and now the wide slips on my feet. I thought perhaps I could try an in-sole to secure the foot. Again, can't beat the styling and it will be the perfect dress shoe for those who can achieve comfort inside it. I can't decide whether to send this latest pair back or just put up with the loose feel.
