text: When I first got them, I put my foot in and it was swimming with all the room. Also, the two zippers on each shoe were pretty scratchy. And of course, they came with that chemically smell that all these kind of retailers from amazon have. Now with all these problems, why did I give 4 stars? Well, when I order things like this from amazon, I expect to have to work with them a bit. Now, since they felt wide when I tried them on (and I don't have narrow feet) I slipped on a regular sock (Hanes brand; not real thick, but definitely not thin) and to my surprise, they fit me perfectly. Maybe if you have narrow feet you'd need a thick sock, but I was fine with a regular one. Then, I had to tackle the problem of the scratchy zippers. I personally don't mind what the inside of my shoes look like, so I literally hot-glued scrap pieces of thick fabric on the inside of both zippers so that the poky part didn't come into contact with my skin. After that, these shoes have been wonderful. I've worn them all across campus, I've went out shopping in them where I walked multiple places and was constantly on my feet. Even after a day of walking around, they only hurt a little bit but the pain was gone by the morning. These little booties are perfect for walking around in and for every day use.
