Review: Sharp and Classy! - I normally wear an 8 1/2 and read that these run a bit large. I ordered the 8 (6 UK) and they were still a smidgen too big. I purchased some inserts and that took care of the problem, though I do have some room in the toe but it doesn't affect my gait and the space is nice since my toes don't get cramped. The leather though is VERY stiff and this shoe takes some time to break in - using band-aids for the heel and working the tongue to soften it up. Just after a few wearings I can tell that they are breaking in and becoming comfortable though the heel on the right is still a bit stiff. These shoes do get noticed by people - I've had a lot of compliments on them and I do like the way they look with dress pants as well as jeans. Very well made, sturdy, comfortable once they are broken in, and stylish - but if you're a half-size definitely order down!
Review: LOVE! Use for plantar fasciitis - These are really cute! But, I got them for their soles. I have painful heels, plantar fasciitis. My doctor said I needed sturdy soles to support the pressure when I walk. He said to check my shoes by bending the sole to check their sturdiness. These soles are solid, but still a little bouncy! I use these with some 3/4, high quality heel inserts. They have really helped me heal. I now buy Doc Martens with similar soles. Be aware they are a little heavy. I don’t mind, I’m building up my leg muscles I am no longer limping around, but now look cute while in no pain. LOVE!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sharp and Classy!
*by E***K on January 1, 2014*

I normally wear an 8 1/2 and read that these run a bit large. I ordered the 8 (6 UK) and they were still a smidgen too big.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Adorable and well made shoes
*by S***Y on September 21, 2019*

I LOVE these shoes. They run very big so order a size down. I wear 8 1/2 in tennis shoes and shoes so men's 6 was the perfect size for my feet. I added an insert as I wear them in all my shoes. A previous reviewer said they were stiff and yes they are but like any true leather shoe the leather will relax and conform to your foot. They're very well made and high quality. I can't wait to wear them with my cute work uniforms. I'm 46 and my friends loved these shoes. I wish they made more colors like navy & cream or brown & cream.
