CALTO - Y3521 - 3 Inches Taller (Coffee Brown) - Micro-Perforated Dress Oxford

looks nice, sizing kinda weird

First off, they look as nice as the pictures. About sizing: I purchased size 9, but the toe part is oddly long and narrow such that a size 8 theoretically would have been the appropriate length for me ... except I'm pretty sure my pinky toe would get crushed by the narrowness if I were to switch to the smaller size. So I'll stick with what I've got. Comfort is so-so. The extra provided insole cushions definitely help, and I'll probably wear slightly thick socks to help out more. Effective height increase is about 1" vs wearing standard dress shoes.
