When I opened it, a hand written card fell out. On it, they said they hoped I enjoyed my matte black tieks and that my back pain would be helped by them.
That scared me. I ordered California Navy, not matte black. I quickly took the shoes out of the box and discovered they had sent me California Navy. The note was just incorrect. Thank goodness! The shoes came really fast. But I was anxious to be able to wear mine and didn't want to have to wait because I was sent the incorrect shoes!
I tried the shoes on. I walked around the house in them a bit. They are really soft on the inside. And they felt pretty comfortable. I sat on the couch with them on and started working on lessons for the upcoming school year. It was then that I realized that my toes were starting to hurt. After a while, they started to go numb. Not good!
I took them off and gave my feet time to relax. Put them back on again a while later and the same thing occurred. They were fine for a few minutes and them my toes started to hurt and become numb.
I always wear a size 6. It doesn't matter the brand. So naturally, I ordered a size 6. Part of me wonders if I exchanged them for the next size up, a 7, if they would fit better or if they would be way too big.
I received an email from one of their representatives named Lisa when I had placed my order (When I placed the order, it had asked WHY I was purchasing these shoes. So I told them about my back injury and the pain resulting from that. Lisa replied stating she hoped my new shoes would help my injury! It was a nice, personal touch. My mom said, "For $175 dollars, you SHOULD get a personalized email!" LOL). So I replied to that email from Lisa and asked for her opinion on what I should do. She said to wear them around the house for a bit with thick socks on to try to stretch the leather. She said if that doesn't work, they would he happy to replace them.
So that's what I have been doing last night and this morning. I found the thickest pair of socks I own (which aren't that thick considering I live in Florida). And I look like a tacky tourist right now (You know, those people who wear socks with their sandals? The people all Floridians like to make fun of! :P ).
I will have to update again in a couple days once I get an idea whether I keep this pair or exchange them. I hope they work out! I really want them to work out! I'm afraid if I exchange them for a size bigger, that those shoes will be TOO big. They don't carry half sizes. So if I go for a size bigger, it will have to be a size 7. I am definitely not a size 7 in any other shoe. So I'm a bit worried. I really hope these stretch out a bit and stop hurting my toes!
