I had a pair of these from 2015, today is June '18, and while did not wear well I thought to try again.

I ordered the same order.

I looks like the same shoe, generally speaking. The inner lining looks more substantial, so considered they may have addressed the show wearing out (then, I think it was inner sole walked through, etc. and I was recovering from surgery so, no, --not running marathons in it, quite the opposite). The lining is different too. The older shoe had what appeared to me to be a more robust canvas type lamination, --better in that regard.

As far as size, the 2015 iteration, I was concerned with the relaxed fit, since was afraid of a sloppy fit or looking to wide, -- however as far as size went D or USA Medium and if "relaxed" fit, -- was perfect. This order was truly no less than a C or narrow. compared to the older one. Moreover, the Tongue Elastic was sewn nearly fully, -- holding the tongue down and making it very, very challenging to "slip on". I *literally broke my 24in shoe horn, the first 3/4in snapped off trying to wiggle my foot in, thinking once in, would "feel" OK, -- no. My foot immediately went numb, tingly, --squashed.

I've learned that "walking in" a shoe may work, but, today since only the outer upper may be leather there is not much give and "breaking in" a shoe is iffy, --for me anyway. And I just can't risk hurting my feet. Moreover, it is supposed to be a "Relaxed Fit", and was previously, as I said, almost looking sloppy, but was what it was supposed to be.

I fully expected to love it and hope for durability. I normally would do an exchange, but this time and lately am not fully sure that provides a good alternative. The Length was the same, --compared both pre-molded soles and identicle. The Upper is made differently now. It looked narrow out of the box, but I expected the Tongue Elastic to "give", -- no, as I said, sewn down, provides, maybe 1/4 in of give and right at the very end. The rest was sewn mostly tight when I pulled on it.

So, consider that. Maybe order at the same time the next wider version and compare, maybe this was an anomaly, -- who knows. But, in fact the sizing has changed and is not what I expected.
