After the first wearing they started rubbing the side of my left foot. I put moleskin on my foot to see if that helped.  It did, slightly. I've now tried the &#34;runners knot&#34; with the shoelaces. That didn't solve my problem. I love the shoe, but not sure if my foot does. Not sure if I'm returning.  Now that I've read several reviews, those that expressed a problem, was my exact problem. The stitching overlay on the left shoe rubs the side of the area under the left toe. I will try them a few more times to see if it gets any better before returning. Sad, because they're a sharp looking, comfortable otherwise, shoe.
