“Everything about these shoes was what l wanted except the fit. I reliably wear an 8.5 but these shoes were too narrow and my big toe was up against the front of the toe box. I tried to wear them around my house to see if they might give a bit. No such luck. I had to return them and there was no sz 9 available for an exchange. I’m so disappointed because l thought the shoe top and sole color would be perfect for my trip to Africa next month.”
