text: With much sadness I returned them.  I normally wear a size 6 1/2 and got the 6.  It's strange the shoe had plenty of toe room and my heel was comfortable perhaps ever so slightly a bit big (but still good enough).  What was terrible about the shoe was the top part that fits over the round part of top of your foot.  The shoe was incredibly tight.  I had to shove and wiggle and push and pull to get my foot in.  To get it off it was a struggle and my foot would come out with the imprint of the leather all over my skin it was so tight.  I tried wearing them in the house and tried stuffing newspaper in the hopes they would expand but they were way too tight.  My feet were tingling.  I never knew I had a fat foot.  Maybe I will try a tennis shoe.  The return was excellent.  I went to a UPS store and sent them off with the labels Amazon provided and paid zero money out of my pocket.  Yeah.  Within an hour or so of sending it off I got a text stating a refund was in process and would appear in my account in 2-3 days.  I was shocked at getting a text so fast.  Maybe I have fat feet (I am not overweight by the way, just average size) and they may be okay for you.
