I sent the polka dot ones back for much the same reason. Stiff, uncomfortable and pinchy. I have a left foot that is larger, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bass-lewisa-floral-oxford-review#post-627436 Thu, 24 May 2012 03:56:42 +0000 Abie 627436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry to hear this, those are some really cute shoes! I agree though that there are way too many great shoes to try to wear some that don't feel right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bass-lewisa-floral-oxford-review#post-627381 Thu, 24 May 2012 02:46:08 +0000 Diana 627381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, bummer. Thanks for taking one for the team and ordering them to try though! (Now I know they will not fit me, since I have a wider forefoot and narrow heel.)</p> <p>And, definitely time for shoe math! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bass-lewisa-floral-oxford-review#post-627378 Thu, 24 May 2012 02:44:13 +0000 Tanya 627378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am very sorry they didn't work out Rae, they are so pretty. But I am sure you will find something equally nice and more comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bass-lewisa-floral-oxford-review#post-627373 Thu, 24 May 2012 02:39:57 +0000 Deborah 627373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shame! They are a gorgeous looking shoe, but comfort has to be a priority. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bass-lewisa-floral-oxford-review#post-627367 Thu, 24 May 2012 02:34:37 +0000 Transcona Shannon 627367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well...that stinks! But you are sooooo incredibly right that life is too short. Uncomfortable shoes have no place in our closet! And yes Claire is right - shoe math time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bass-lewisa-floral-oxford-review#post-627354 Thu, 24 May 2012 02:20:07 +0000 Anonymous 627354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I'm so sorry Rae! .......but you know what this means? Shoe math! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bass-lewisa-floral-oxford-review#post-627350 Thu, 24 May 2012 02:18:22 +0000 rae 627350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're going back.</p> <p>The colors and print were what I'd hoped - cream, with the roses printed on the leather and not on fabric, but I don't like how they look with the main outfit I'd envisioned (they felt like nurse's shoes), they are too small, and there are too many quirks for me to try another size. </p> <p>1) Most Bass reviews say the brand runs large, so I went down a half size. They are too tight in the toes, but oddly make my heel slip at the same time. I've never encountered this issue before.</p> <p>2) Although my left foot is bigger, the *right* shoe is tighter. And shorter. But the shoes are NOT marked for size at all, so I can't even ask the seller to double check the stock before sending a new pair. </p> <p>3) Although the footbed is padded, the upper is stiff. I would need to really break these in, and life's too short. </p> <p>Oh well... I guess that means I cheated on SYC a little bit less. :(</p> <p>Sorry if I am the bearer of bad news for anyone who was eyeballing these. </p>
