I don't know if I have a defective pair or what, but these are so uncomfortable.  I scrutinized them and found that they narrow right at the widest part of the foot.  This seems like a defect to me and they should not be this way.  It's along a seam, so it's like the seam pulled the leather in.  I can't return them as I wore them, thinking that they would stretch and break in, but it's not happening.
