I had tried these shoes on in a store and ended up buying another style. When I saw these online I thought that they looked good and were the same thing as I saw in the store. When they arrived I tried them on. They're a little tight across the top whereas the ones in the store did not fit tight. Leather does stretch so I will wear them and see how it goes. If for some reason they don't stretch at all then I guess I will chalk it up to experience then just not purchase shoes online again. I will see how it goes!
