Tink Pointed Toe Flat (Women)

i usually wear a 7 (i have mostly beem a 6.5 shoe size) to give a tiny bit of room but got these as an 8 because they were so pretty and that was the size available. They should have been plenty roomy but the backs of these shoes were so stiff that after only two hours of wearing (in a hotel for a conference so not even walking around), they cut the back of my ankles so bad - worse than any shoe i have ever owned. definitely not worth the pain - even though they were so pretty and normally i love steve maddens.
