text: If there was a way to give this no stars I would.  I purchased size 11 in a big box sporting goods store.  I usually wear a 10 1/2.  My toe touched the end of the shoe.  After some consternation and buyers remorse I shelled out the $126.00 figuring my feet were worth it.  By the middle of day two I had to relace the shoes a good 1/4 inch because they had stretched that much.  Oh as for the toe hitting the end?  No problem, somehow the length had stretched a good half size.  Just my experience, yours may be different.  I did get two compliments on how they looked tho.  No consolation for writing that big check.
