These shoes are being returned. Not only are they very, very tight, they are made so cheaply that they were already coming apart just out of the box. The tongue is sewed incorrectly and it's already fraying. Additionally, buyers should note that the color in the picture is not the same color as the description (the description clearly states cyan but the photo shows a pinkish/red detail). The shoes are very nice looking from afar IF you don't look at the quality of workmanship. These will not work for hiking by any means.And as the old saying goes, you get what you paid for.
