These Nautica sneakers are the most uncomfortable shoes that I can remember buying.

When I tried these shoes on in the store the fit seemed to be good but I noticed there was an elastic band underneath the tongue. That elastic band ran from the left side to the right side of the shoe and made the shoe really tight, plus it was difficult to put them on. So I thought I could just cut out the elastic band and it would work for me.

Once I got home I cut out the elastic band and started wearing the shoes.  Then I discovered a bigger problem.  There is a seam that runs from the left side of the shoe, across the top of the shoe at the bottom of the laces, and then to the right side of the shoe.  It looks stylish in the picture, but the problem is that it is a big fat seam inside the shoe.  It was actually pressing on a nerve on the top of my foot and after wearing the shoes for 30 minutes it was very painful.  So I spent $45 for these shoes and could only wear them for 30 minutes.
