I already had a pair of these exact shoes (size, width & color) I purchased last year from Gordman's in Kansas City.  I was able to wear them immediately without any discomfort.  These shoes, however, run narrower and the color is different.  I was going to exchange for a wide width, but they didn't have them.  I'm still deciding whether these will stretch out after I wear them, or if I need to return.  I've worn on the carpet at home, but they don't get better.  I do like the looks of the shoe and searched everywhere to find them at a comparable price from last year when I paid $55.00 at the discounter store.  I believe this style has been discontinued.<br /><br />I am disappointed in the fit, but otherwise they are okay.
