This is a great bargain! Though the shoe is not real leather, and therefore requires some stretching with a heavy sock before actually wearing, they stretch pretty well. I do NOT recommend putting them on and wearing them for a long period of time. Definitely take some time to break them in REALLY good. To some, this would affect their rating. Because I have a hard time finding my size, 12 womens, to find a stylish shoe and at such a price! I'm happy.
