No kidding. It did.

I ordered these shoes for one of the most important interviews in my life. I was pretty happy with it when it got here, so I didn't think there would be a problem wearing them to the interview. On the morning of the interview, I ran for a bit to catch the bus, and noticed the increasingly more painful sensation coming from the back of my feet. I look and I see myself bleeding as the shoes scratched the skin above my Achilles tendon.

Note that the shoes was NOT too tight for me. It was, in fact, 0.5 size bigger. Also note that I was not wearing thin socks, but rather athletic ones, and still the shoes made me bleed.

Essentially, I just bought pain for $50.
