text: Sad to say these shoes were way too tight for my mom and were returned promptly. I bought them hoping the material was flexible enough to expand and contract with her swollen feet throughout the day, but it wasn't happening. She couldn't even get her foot in them - and I ordered a wide size. I love Skechers and have worn their athletic shoes for years, so this unhappy purchase was a real surprise. Amazon was great about processing a refund promptly.
