The fit and cut are fine - runs true to size (length and width), and they look nice on the feet. But they are soooo hurtful! I first wore these to dinner and to walk around the museum for 2 hours, and my feet hurt but I just thought they needed breaking in. The time after that I wore them to work - I'm not on my feet all day, and I just do moderate walking between desks/cafeteria/bathroom. Ouch! The back of my ankles were bleeding from the shoes rubbing against them the whole day, and I almost died on my walk home by the end of the day. Still not giving up (maybe thinking that after wearing them all day they might have finally been broken in), I wore them and walked to the park (~0.5 mi). They were still uncomfortable and I felt the back of my ankles starting to get raw again... Thank God I brought flip flops to prepare for this scenario. Never again!
