Very disappointed.  The front of the shoe opening where it meets the ankle is so stiff that it cuts in making these shoes difficult to walk in from the first step.  Quite surprised by this because it leaves no semi-comfortable opportunity to break them in.  To make matters worse, the seller does not offer free returns.  This I was unaware of when I ordered them.  I order a lot from Amazon and have never encountered this so I didn't notice if &#34;Free Return&#34; was listed or not. Doubly disappointed.
