when I first tried these on, i thought, "shoot, they're too small, and I'll have to return them." then my german shepherd knocked my class of iced tea off the coffee table and poured into the box and I figured "well, i guess returning is out, let's see if they'll work." I'm wearing them to work right now, and they aren't tight at all- just one day of wearing them around and they fit fine. there wasn't any painful "breaking in" period either. they're quite comfy and supportive.

only fault is my own- i keep WANTING to like mary jane style shoes on me, but at the end of the day, i'm a loafer girl. they are cute, though.
