A very elegant and pretty shoe made from high quality leather, the food bed feels very comfy, but despite taking meticious care while measuring I slide forword fare so my heel loses contact to much as that it could be ignored and even the lacing is not enough to ensure a stable standing. another thing, since I have a quite high instep the shoe creates a rather unflattering silluette of my foot spilling over. Sizing down to negate my other issue I fear it will hurtfully cut in at that point so I sadly have to lay my long harboured dream of owning these shoes to rest.
My issues are in no way an universal failing of the shoe, They are specific to my quite difficult feet and I just lay them out so other buyers can take them into account when pondering whatever to buy or not to buy.
If you have a flatter feet go for it, but I found the modell not suited on high insteped ones.
From all I can tell they are indeed of a very high quality, warrenting the higher prices and fare superior to others I had in hand of a similar priceclass.
If they are just a little tight, the leather will quite fastly mold around your foot to accomadate it, but if the cut itself is of or the shoe just overall to big, there are no solutions that are becomming of a shoe of this class.
I will surely try my luck again with a different style that hopefully works better on my feet.
