Break them in. To all the reviewers who said these shoes are stiff: Yes, you are right. These shoes, unlike the cheaper ... madden line, are lined in leather, no matter if you get the leopard, patent or fabric shoe, which means that they will be stiff... but just for a bit. I bought these in leopard and was worried because they were stiff and uncomfortable. I wore them around the house for a few nights after work and now, they are the most comfortable shoes EVER. The leather got soft and buttery, and I don't even need to put heel cushions on the back like I do with most other shoes. So, give these shoes a little time to break in and you will love them, I swear.
