I've had these shoes for a few days now. The first time I put them on, they were a bit tight (especially near the top of my foot), but I just figured they needed some breaking in. The first day, I wore them almost all day in attempts to break them in, but they are so tight on the sides of my foot. It almost feels like they are pinching my feet. I'm going to try them another day, but if they're not any better by then I may just have to get rid of them. My feet are still sore from wearing them. Hopefully they do break in because I love the style!
