After trying on the shoes I noticed that the right shoe seemed a bit tighter around the toe area than the left. I checked the shoes to make sure that they were both the same size and they were (according to what was stamped on both). Being Rockports, I thought it would be just a matter of wearing the shoe for a while and having it stretch out naturally. Well, I'm a flight attendant and wore these shoes on a 4-day trip to &#34;break them in.&#34; After just 2 days I was ready to go to work in my socks because the pain was so bad in my right foot. I have never had this issue with Rockports before. By the time I made the decision to return them, I had already thrown out the box and the receipt, so I was stuck with the shoes. The happier ending: I donated them to Goodwill. Maybe someone with two different size feet will get some good use out of them. What I learned: buy my shoes at a physical shoe store and avoid this problem altogether.
