I bought these shoes for my mom, who has been a huge fan of Naturalizers since I was very young.  After the first day she wore them, I asked her how she liked them.  They had pulled down her socks all day long.  Ugh.  I know what that's like.  I've had shoes like that.  Is it the design or the fit or...???? Now having been worn, it's too late to return them, but wearing them will drive her crazy.  I suggested she wear them without socks, though we acknowledged this will make them smelly in no time.  Bummer!
