text: I wish I had read the return/exchange policy details more carefully.  Cannot exchange, only return.  And while the seller states a commitment to completely satisfactory transactions, returns are at the expense of the buyer.  CAVEAT EMPTOR / buyer beware.  Shoes can be funny size-wise, fit-wise, and other-wise.  And that they were.<br /><br />Since, it is possible to purchase them online elsewhere and return them, if you choose to, at no cost, it makes no sense to buy them here.  I wish I had shopped more carefully.  These shoes fit too large, and the construction reminds me of a carton of eggs.  Nothing special, nothing great, not very sturdy.  I kept them because I hate paying for returns.<br /><br />The return policy is clearly stated so my bad for not reading and considering that policy more carefully.  But whether stated or not, I think it is a lousy policy.  I bet you agree.  The shoes are not lousy, but they are not great.  They are not good.  They are less than satisfactory, and I would not buy them again.<br /><br />I recommend neither the shoes nor the seller for the reasons discussed.
