text: These shoes were too snug... I can't remember if I've ever had a pair that seemed too short for my foot -- not in length, but in height.  I'd have to adjust the laces way too much to be practical or attractive.  Also, the insoles were falling out of the shoes when they arrived, they don't seem to be fastened in at all.  I suppose if I removed the insoles, the shoes might fit better but they don't look like they are supposed to be worn that way... I'll be returning them.
