I hope they work out for you size-wise. &nbsp;I'm not Thistle, obvs, but since they are leather you can expect them to give a little as you wear them.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thistles-ollies-in-black#post-1138995 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 20:00:55 +0000 Thistle 1138995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And they are so fun in black too!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thistles-ollies-in-black#post-1138994 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 20:00:34 +0000 Thistle 1138994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought my half a size up and they fit perfectly. Not sure how much they will stretch, but they are leather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thistles-ollies-in-black#post-1138993 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 20:00:18 +0000 Suz 1138993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eeew! I'd be grossed out by that, too!&nbsp;</p> <p>Where did they come from? I would speak to them and maybe exchange. Regardless of the sizing issue.&nbsp;</p> <p>They look really wonderful.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thistles-ollies-in-black#post-1138989 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 19:57:09 +0000 AviaMariah 1138989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is at least the second time I've seen Thistle wear something which prompted me to pull the trigger on something on my wish list. &nbsp;I've been wanting/needing flat, black oxfords and when Thistle raved about how comfortable they were I ordered them in black. &nbsp;They just came and they are beautiful. &nbsp;I ordered them in my regular size and now I just have to decide if I should have gone up 1/2 a size. &nbsp;Thistle, did they stretch at all do you think? &nbsp;The one thing that grossed me out a little is they were obviously a prior return because there were heel pads on the backs with long hairs stuck in them. &nbsp;Ewwwww!!! &nbsp;I guess I know items get return and then resold but that kind of threw me off a little.&nbsp; </p>
