The buttonholes can be extended with a little slicing, to allow for a higher arch across the top of the foot. If all else fails, a shoe repair should be able to move the buttons higher up so that the straps are looser.Lauren Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03547111610954587797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7953319607326764763.post-55258939660753294692012-01-15T15:19:12.326-08:002012-01-15T15:19:12.326-08:00Oh my goodness.

Same for the second crossing of straps...<br />And I wanted to know how high the side is, from the sole, to where the shoes sides end on the inside of the foot, I guess inbetween steps. I think i've got a size 8,5 If they are comparable in size with the last devonshires you had made...<br /><br />I hope this is not to much trouble, but I need to know If they would fit me reasonably.... Sending it back from abroad is very much a hassle...<br />Glad there's some elastic with the buttons! But will it be enough for my high arched feet...Mikeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17975493830559093310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7953319607326764763.post-68131262216799108002012-01-14T00:19:40.103-08:002012-01-14T00:19:40.103-08:00I can't decide if I like the black or ivory be...I can't decide if I like the black or ivory better now...

This is dependent, of course, on if Astoria does well, and how well Pompadour does in pre-order.

I was able to slip these on with a little work, and they stretch out nicely as you wear them.
