Returning
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
I ordered my normal size and I understand these are supposed to be extremely tight but I cant even get 3/4 of my foot in there. Sizing is way off. Not to mention the pair ai received looks hard? Brown smudges on the heels and marks on the shoes. Disappointed
