Ordered a 30 and they were too big and falling off my hips when the laces were tied up all the way.  So I paid the return fee and ordered a 29.  The 29 is so tight I can't even tie up the laces.  I'm not sure if one of the pairs I ordered was made incorrectly or what.  What I know for sure is I'm out two return fees and have no Birdwells.  Really bummed and disappointed.
