I have already enjoyed and continue to wear a brown pair of the same shoes that I personally bought in a department store and they fit great. I wanted a different color and the company store didn't sell black so I tried these. They don't fit and are too tight. The brown ones were a bit tight at first, but not as tight as these. I've tried wearing them to stretch but so far they've given me nothing but pain in my legs. I am extremely disappointed. The brown ones I have now are like not wearing shoes at all because they are so comfortable, but these black ones are a pain in the ass.
