Hi Guys,

Cheers

Not the case, however how pointy are we talking? Nobody should be wearing "pointy" shoes in general.

Why do you think that?

As a tall person (6'3&quot with a large foot (14us) I think the issue with pointy shoes is that the toe point elongates the shoe, making your foot look longer than it is. My foot is 12 inches long. With a standard shoe we're looking at 13.5 inches tip to tip. Add a point, and that's over 14 inches of shoe.
