I bought them to replace my black oxfords and I love the style and they work perfectly in my wardrobe, but even though they're allegedly wide width and don't look narrow they feel too narrow when I'm wearing them a while. They're usually fine to start with and then after a while they feel too constricting. With the weather and wardrobe I'm having right now I haven't worn them all that much so far, but it's getting obvious that it's not something that will get better if I just break the shoes in. I'm really sad that they don't seem to work after all.

I have decided to make an appointment with an orthopedist soon, I want them to check out my feet. Getting insoles would mean different shopping needs, so I won't buy new shoes until that is resolved. But I fear I might need to resell the oxfords.

(The ballet flats I had ordered to wear with the dress at the end of August didn't work out either, btw.)
