Gorgeous, gorgeous shoes! Sadly, though, the foot bed feels hard as a rock. I wore them only around the house as a test, and after only an hour, the balls of my feet were really sore. A full day would have left me in a lot of pain. Putting gel cushion inserts in them makes the whole shoe too tight. I'm so disappointed, since these were the coolest looking shoes I've ever (temporarily) owned. FYI: I wear a 7.5 usually, and they were fine, size-wise, but if they'd been a teeny bit bigger, the gel insert solution might have worked.
