text: I'm really bummed! :-( These shoes looked so awesome online and I spent forever looking for gladiator-style shoes but alas, they are FAR too big around the calves. I wouldn't say I've got super skinny legs either. I really wanted to love them! I read most of the reviews and followed the advice that I should order a size lower than my normal which was absolutely the right thing to do! They even arrived within 3 days of ordering which was incredible since Amazon Prime was not an option. The arch support was fantastic, the color was a true black, the studs were awesome looking....such a shame that they didn't work out for me. Even my husband was like &#34;aren't those supposed to be hugging your calves?&#34; They really should make these straps adjustable....I've come to see other girls have also returned the pair for the very same reason. Guess I'll be looking elsewhere...
