These are a very narrow but long shoe.  They are over in length but the instep is incredibly low and really grabs tight around the foot.  Perhaps after they are broken in they will be more comfortable but I really can't even imagine what kind of pain I would be in while trying to break them in.  There are other shoes on amazon that I have found to be a better shoe for the money. For instance check out this boot.  I have a pair of these and they are so much more comfortable:<br />Allen Edmonds Men's Dalton Boot<br />They are about the same price but far nicer in both appearance and comfort.  They are a bit less casual but they look great with jeans and a t-shirt as well as any more formal attire.
