The arch was a little too much for me. I can wear them a little longer now that I smashed them down. The shoe started to peal with in the first week of getting them. They sewed down designs and cut into the fabric? and now there are lots of pealing bits near the decorations. They are extra roomy which some people may need. My size is US ladies 7 wide, just a little wide. These are very wide with a big box toe.
