I did not find these shoes stretchable, although I put in them, since I received them, a wooden form to make them stretch.

The orthotic insert, which is why I bought them, makes the shoe space shorter and tighter.  So the size you purchase is no longer the actual size you expect.  You may need to buy a half to one size longer so you can wear the shoes comfortably.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to wear these expensive shoes since they do not fit and the wooden form has not helped to stretch them so far (had them almost 3 weeks).

Otherwise, the look, workmanship, and quality of the shoes are fine.
