what a disappointment these sneakers are.  so cute and colorful but the cushion under the ball of the foot is very hard and they hurt.  also they are kind of pointy so they were not wide enough across the toes.  I tried to open the laces but that did not help.  wish i would have returned them rather than keep trying to walk in them.  ended up donating them to my local thrift shop.<br />will definitely not order NB products again.
