I have 3 pairs of Earthies. I hate this pair. The fit too snugly but worse, they make noise when I walk. I call them my &#34;farting&#34; shoes. I kept them because I thought the leather would relax a bit and stretch--it didn't and they continue to &#34;fart&#34;. I've tried everything without taking out the orthotic. I thiufht it was such a pretty flat and I love the brand but this style is a huge disappointment. Avoid this  style from Earthies.
