I really wouldn't care if they were ugly if they felt good but they don't.  They are tight around the instep, around my toes (the shoe's not too short, just tight around the toes), and at the band across the top.  Even though the feel cushiony when you put them on, the sole doesn't provide much support.

The reason I ordered them was because they were the right color, the reviews were good, and I have a history of excellent shoes purchased from FootSmart.  This pair just didn't work for me.

It it wasn't going to cost $8.49 to return them, I would return them.  Instead I'll try wearing them with silky socks and see if they stretch any.

* Addendum:  I've been wearing these occasionally for four months and they are still so uncomfortable that I take them off as soon as I get to work.  Maybe Goodwill will like them.
