They think we have ape toes.  The toe piece is good hight (fits snug), but too far back, making too much of shoe at front (unsafe) and heal sticking out past end of shoe (unsafe).  Perhaps where these are made, they have longer toes?  I would NOT buy again.  Note I have seen similat review of other brands, did not have this problem 5 years ago.  Also overall to narrow and too small for stated size.
