All I had to do was put these shoes on and walk across the room to know that they had to be returned. I read something about them running small, but the exact opposite was true for me, they were to big. Also I wasn't impressed by the quality, but I guess you get what you pay for, and I really wasn't impressed by the strong smell of synthetic leather. Anyone standing with in a few feet of me would be able to smell it if I left the house in them. That would probably go away with in a few days, but my sense of smell is bad so if they smelled strong enough to make my head hurt then it's worth noting.
