KARL LAGERFELD PARISWomen's Cate Rue Pins Lace-Up Sneakers

Stylish but Uncomfortable!

I purchased these shoes (mine were denim, blue). I bought them to wear [especially] with jeans, and perhaps other casual attire. Recently, I wore the shoes for the first time. Within an hour, I had to remove them from my feet! The shoes (blue denim fabric) were very "stiff" and hurt my feet to the point that I had to remove them for the remainder of the day. Like other reviewers have said, they do NOT provide arch support. Although the shoes have a rounded toe cup/area, they are extremely uncomfortable in that area. I purchased size 9.5 M, and they seemed narrow. I liked the style and decided I would purchase a size 10M, However, the shoes (in denim, blue) are "No Longer Available" at Macy's nor the Karl Lagerfeld website. I am now stuck with an uncomfortable pair of shoes that cannot be returned to the store (30-day return period as expired)! I have been told that this same shoe in leather, is also very uncomfortable and stiff.
