text: When I received this pair of Stacy Adams shoes I was pretty excited. They looked great, and, having wanted to buy a pair of this brand for a while, I bought them because they were at a great price. Unfortunately, as other reviews had mentioned, they can run a bit large. This pair was about 1 size too big. I wear an 11 in both shoes and sneakers, but even accounting for the longish style they were way too big for me. The real problem came when I went to exchange them for a smaller size; in order to do that, I was directed to buy the same style at more than double the price! I had hoped to try this one pair and, if they were suitably comfortable and wore well, to start buying different styles. When I found the price hike on this style, I had identified another style of Stacy Adams shoes at a similarly low price, and was going to order that one in a size 10, having saved it in my cart. Yet when I got the refund notice for the return of this too large pair, I went to order the other style and found that the price on that other pair was also hiked, again to more than double what I was planning to pay. So much for that trial run.
