Fit: I have bunions and have a hard time with pointy toe shoes. These are run big, I normally take and 8 and went down to 7.5. Somehow they are wide enough over the instep and forefoot (is that a body part?) that all my toes have plenty of space. The leather is pretty solid so about moulding I do not know yet. I wear them without socks because I like to be able to leave them at the front door and dash out. But one could use a sock designed to "hide" in sneakers.
These sneakers are perfect for the "non sneaker" girl who wants a sporty alternative to a ballet flat or driving loafer.
