I own two other pair of Aetrex shoes, and they are some of the most comfortable and best-fitting shoes I have ever owned.  So I was excited to find these on sale.  Unfortunately, the fit of these shoes is not even close to the fit of the other Aetrex mary janes that I own.  The problem is the binding that goes across the top of the foot...it was way too tight and there is no give in the material at all.  I have a fairly narrow foot and have never had this type of problem with a shoe before.  It is definitely a very poor design.  Because I liked the looks of the shoe and got such a good deal on them, I desperately wanted to make them work.  So I did two things:  I removed the insole and placed it with one that was considerably thinner to give me a little more room.  Then I forced an object into the front of each shoe that just barely fit into it and left it there for days, which stretched the binding out sightly.  Those two things have made the shoe wearable, though not nearly as comfortable as I had hoped.  Thank goodness I got these for $50-something instead of paying full price.  I cannot recommend these shoes.
