text: Since it's not clear from the product title that these shoes are for girls only, and we took the M and W in the sizing choices to signify men's or women's (boys' or girls') rather than medium and wide sizes, my new bride and I purchased a pair for her young son/my stepson to wear in our wedding when we couldn't find similar saddle shoes to match mine in local department stores. We were profoundly disappointed (understatement) to discover far from home and with the big day at hand that he couldn't wear them due to the mistake. He wore hiking shoes, since it was that or sneakers. It was all we could do to drag him out of the room without dress shoes, he was so mortified. After the wedding, when we looked up the product page and discovered how this had happened, he told me that he wanted to burn the shoes, he was so disgusted. We left them behind in our room, and I hope they end up with a girl who can wear and enjoy them.<br /><br />Yes, the detailed product description posted far down the product page (off-screen beneath other info and rows of related products) indicates that the shoes are for girls. So one could say this was our mistake. But we never saw the details, nor felt the need to go hunting for them, since all the info we thought we needed appeared at the top of the page and on the sizing and order screens. I hope the good folks at School Issue Footwear, who presumably didn't intend to mislead anyone, will revise the product title to make it clear that these shoes are intended and sized for girls only, so that other parents aren't similarly disappointed. When they do, I'll be glad to revise this review.
