Had to return my original order. Ordered my normal shoe size (8), but when I tried to put them on, I could not even get them on my feet! The box has the a big letter &quot;W&quot; on the label. Could this be a women's size 8 by mistake? I immediately sent them back, and ordered a size 9. Hope they work. I did notice there was little cushioning with the insoles. I am guessing the crepe soles do all the cushioning. I bought my first pair about 41 years ago at an Army PX in Seoul, South Korea when I was in the military. The shoes were pile lined, and was the most comfortable shoes I ever owned, period! Wore them for years before they wore out. Hope these live up to the one I had back in the day.
