Nordstrom is selling some very cute sneakers by Joseph Seibel called Caspians. I bought a pair to wear on a trip where I'd be doing a fair amount of walking. They were comfortable enough on in the store, but after walking less than a mile in them, I ended up with huge blisters and sores. I was crippled by these shoes! I guess I've been spoiled by the nice shoes I generally buy, because I never have that much trouble breaking in shoes and frankly, I'm just not willing to put these shoes back on my feet ever again.

Thank goodness I bought them from Nordies, because they assure me that they'll take them back. I feel a bit bad about returning shoes that I wore outside, but I didn't bargain on them hurting me so badly.
