The "finger part" is narrower and nestles snugly against the fingers. The length corresponds to the thumb. This example had an unsightly glue stain on the edge of the lining in the center of the "tongue". This was visible to the owner but would not be a reason to return the shoes unless they were uncomfortably tight. [However, shoes of this quality and price should not have the stain]. The leather upper is soft and has a variable appearance that can be seen in the product photo. The leather lining is really soft and spotless apart from an unfortunate glue mark on one boot. The tightness of the fit can depend on the cut of the upper as well as the thickness and high density of the removable insoles provided. They turned out to be of high quality and high density, probably required to protect the foot from feeling through the soft skin. uneven unevenly cut rubber soles. Anything less dense would be awkward to walk or use to drive. In terms of width, the insoles are identical to the 10M insoles I have in the aftermarket, as well as unused insoles that have been previously removed from the 10M shoes I usually buy. Inserting these latter, softer insoles reduced toe-congestion somewhat, but they didn't insulate the foot from the bumpy sensation felt by the tread outsoles attached to the soft leather upper. you could see them glowing evenly through almost every slit in the soft skin. One might wonder at the durability of a shoe with stitching made from leather this soft, especially when you're wearing a tight shoe long enough for it to stretch to fit. Maybe ordering wider shoes will solve the fit issue. It's also possible that the leather upper would eventually stretch to conform to the foot if one were willing to endure the discomfort of wearing a shoe over time. I think that would be ugly. I don't want to explore any of these possibilities further.
