2023 Footwear rejected Jul - Dec

Dr Scholls Always Band snug in 6.5 and ugly. Easy St Pumps in 7.5 close, but required thin insoles , heel slipped. Andre Assous Milla SO close in 7, comfy w/ ecco insole, front upper edge painful against lower shin; leather very stiff. Dup pair of Clark Kayleigh Step - same exact size I already have, too loose, maybe mislabeled at the factory - no wonder so cheap at Amazon. The Naot lalo not enough cushioning under the ball of foot. 38 size ok. Also shoulda noticed the cutouts - NG. Circus loafers too big in 7.5, toe area too tight in 7. Sorel loafers in 7 good fit but too chunky, too much like the boots I already have. Vionics Mizelle in 6.5 fits well overall but toe area too tight . Easy Spirit brown booties almost exactly same color as Naturalizer I already have. 7.5 would be right size will need to add insole. Gentle Souls 7.5 too big, knit top looked awful and like it would stretch out very quickly. Walking Cradles were close in 7.5 but pinched toe area. Franco sarto pumps 7.5 needed insole heel still slipped. 2” too high. NB sneakers 8 right size; sole too thin at toe area like most running shoes - need a diff style. KC ankle strap pumps in 7 - right size top area of zipper rubbed badly and 2.16" heels too high. Hoka Arahi 6 sole stuck out in back looked very odd. Also reviews said ran really small so ordered an 8 prob 7.5 would be right. The FS , very similar to a brown pair I already have, were a good fit in 7.5 and well made but the style was too severe looking. Ecco sculpted in 38 was too big around the foot, 37 would be right, but heel too high put stress on my back. Ninety Union Blake gold pumps were not secure on foot and strap couldn't be tightened any better, but surprisingly the 2 1/2 " heels could have worked. Gold booties a little too western and reviews said qual bad. Comfy enough. Prefer darker gold.
