When I first put these shoes on, as always, the fit was excellent the comfort level amazing and the quality, as I’ve always come to expect, very good. However, there is absolutely no ability to change the tension of the elastic that goes over the top of the foot. And whilst very comfortable when I first put these shoes on this morning, within three hours of walking and working (I literally walk 1000 steps from my car to my office) my feet became so horribly swollen and bruised as the tension in the elastic got tighter and tighter meaning that I actually had to walk back to my car barefoot this evening, Because putting these shoes back on to my incredibly bruised and swollen feet was really not an option. If you have petite feet and don’t want to walk anywhere, then I highly recommend them. They are extremely pretty and I’m very very sad to be returning them, but more than nine hours after taking these shoes off my right foot is still so swollen I can’t even get a slipper on.
