I took these shoes out of the box and liked them right away.  They fit even though I bought an 8 and normally wear 7.5.  I bought these for a vacation and had not worn them beyond trying on previously.  During my vacation, I put them on and hit the door. My food slipped so much that I was so uncomfortable and had to concentrate too much on keeping them on my feet.  I asked my partner if we could go back to the hotel to change my shoes after walking a few blocks, as I could not imagine walking in them all evening.  I am disappointed that I can no longer return them after wearing, even though it was for 20 minutes.  I do not think I have an incredibly narrow foot but these definitely do not work for me.
