As I read before, they are a bit stiff, see the malleolus sour painful, but it's leather, it must be done. For that, you can wear open closures without problems (I never lace my shoes, so it does not bother me and my ankles are very comfortable).
Hands must help to put on, so if you want easy to put pumps in 1 second, we buy sneakers but not that.
The color on the other hand: it is a non-smooth leather, so no black black, but black pallid. but that pfffff.
No no, all in all I'm happy ^^
