I purchased this shoe thinking it would be an easy tennie to quickly slip into and out of since we take our shoes off in the house.  It arrived and when I opened the box, I was pleased b/c it is as attractive as the picture shows.  Not clunky-looking nor "old-lady-ish".  However, even though I purchased it 1/2 size bigger than my normal shoe size to accommodate socks, I could barely get my foot in it.  Struggle, tug, wiggle, struggle... finally they went on, but no way are they "comfortable".  Walking in them was equally cramping... so much to my disappointment, I am sending them back.  Not only are they small in length, but they are VERY narrow.  I'm sure even exchanging for a size bigger would not fix the problem b/c the width would still be a problem.  Very sorry - they are cute, but misleading.
