If you need an unusual size (especially 4E width), they'll do a free ground shipping drop ship straight from their warehouse.

I can't get past the fugly rivets or whatever the fasteners are on the top and bottom of the metatarsal plate.

Garth:

That is an older photo of the shoes before a redesign last year. Davis has the current picture. They arent that bad IMO.

There are still black rivets, but only two near the toe and one near the ankle.

They have a gloss finish, but not patent. And they are the most comfortable shoes I've worn. Actually the base shoes are more comfortable.
