I wear a size 8 for men. Most of the time I take the foam insert out of the shoe (which usually slides out easily) so that my foot sits deeper in the shoe. When I tried to remove the insole this time, it tore because it was completely glued to the sole of the shoe. At the time they were non-returnable, so my sole kept tearing. When I finally put them on I found that they were a lot wider in the front than my last pair which was a size 8. After that I figured I could wear them if I was tall so I went back to order a smaller size, to find what your price has increased by TWENTY DOLLARS!
