Ok, but big leather soles make you fatter

Ten years ago I wore blouses. The leather has a thinner feel now, which I was expecting, but I wasn't a fan of the big leather soles. In split sole shoes, the leather sole has extra volume just below the ball of the foot. When I point my toes, a "bubble" of inflexible skin appears on the sole, resulting in an ugly arch line and flattening my arches. Maybe it's because I'm used to Russian Vivante pointe shoes which have a much smaller split sole, but I wanted leather shoes and Vivante just canvas shoes. Also, I have a lower profile foot, but someone with a high profile or "fleshy" foot may be able to fill out the shoe better, but in this case I think the top line of the shoe can be uncomfortable because it even touches there my legs are tight. Also, the elastics are pre-sewn and I wasn't a fan of their placement.

Pros
  • Shoes
Cons
  • Rosette required
