The shoe looks really nice. I think it will throw the leather after prolonged use wrinkles at the kinks, but I could never find out, because this Gabor shoe falls out really small. I already have 2 pairs of Gabor shoes in 38.5 that fit perfectly, but this one was quite simply much smaller. In particular, the big toe is "flattened", because the tip is front so low. Too bad, that's why it had to return.
