@whorishconsumer In the beginning the pinky toe got pinched and actually part of foot went numb over extended wear just on the foot (I'm sitting at the desk working at home most hours). I think it's better now especially hibernating with some shoetrees over the summer time. There's a nice amount of heel slip to allow my foot to move around without being loose if that makes sense.
It is a pair of 180s in pebbled ("caviar") grain black leather and rubber sole. Read a few posts above the rubber sole will make it even harder to break in.
To that end, it's not my first time breaking in a pair of shoes. And I know it's been shared about cobbler stretching the shoe width just a tad more. I just haven't had a lot of opportunity to attend to that. I am optimistic that with enough wears stomping outside they'll mold perfectly. Maybe I'm coping hard. Really just first world problems i.e., too much stuff and haven't had a chance to truly put some wear and rotate new shoes into the week.
FWIW I picked these up after missing out and thinking there's something better made than a pair of Lemaire split toe/piped slippers. I still stand by that and echo again how beautifully shaped the 180s are.
I feel you about having too many shoes. I'm constantly getting rid of stuff in an effort to let what I keep shine. But then I get more ****...
