I have to agree that they could be very uncomfortable. I have very narrow feet and I order up a half size and they were still too tight. Maybe I should have ordered a whole size up? Anyway, I just didn't like the shoes all together...not as nice as I expected. So, I sold mine on ebay (2 pair) for $150 each!
I should note that I have one wide foot and one double wide foot.
The only problem with the shoes was that they were restricting any movement of my pinky toe. I think for girls with narrow to medium width feet, they would be fine comfort-wise.
Also, the padding is really good for a pair of $80 shoes which is why I was initially impressed when I tried them on in Nordies.
i would call my feet average width. i sized up one half size. i have worn them out all day about 3 times...
someone asked me today where i got them and if they were comfortable. i replied that they weren't my MOST uncomfortable pair. for some reason they bother me a lot when i am driving. def. not driving shoes...
I agree with most people. They are very uncomfortable, I bought the 5 and it killed my feet, and the 5 1/2 was too long, my feet kept slipping out, and they were still too tight in the front. Very odd, since I have a narrow foot? That is why I e-bayed mine.
But on a very good note, I got my hands on the similar pair but in the sling back peep toe model-called Amy and they are SUPER comfortable. They are quite similar, and too cute to pass up.
