I ordered these shoes because most look bulky on my tiny feet and feel too heavy. I really wish these were just 1/2 an inch wider. I have very high arches, my feet are very narrow, slim ie, tiny feet. And these were too tight in the width. But....for the price I did not feel like returning them and so this is what I did and this did work out, for now. The tongue attaches to the shoe at the last hook for the shoelaces, last hook toward the front of the shoe. I snipped maybe 2-4 centimeters and it opened up the shoe enough to be comfortable. I'm hoping they will work out for the next few months until I have the cash to get a decent pair of these type of slim low profile shoes.
