I like the style but I didn't feel like having to break in the stiffness on the back of my ankle.  It is a little more greek looking than I thought it would be too, not very feminine.  I thought it was true to size in the length and did not pinch me in any other places but, my foot is normal to narrow. Perhaps a person with a larger foot would find that it does not come up as high on the ankle as it did on mine.
