“Tight in the toe area, and HOT”

“These do run small. I ordered the equivalent of a size 6 even though I usually wear a size 5 to 5.5 and have a narrow foot. Even though my foot is narrow, these were still very tight in the toes and HOT. Granted, I live in Arkansas and it is hot here, but my feet were hot indoors. I had to take the shoes off while at work to cool off my feet, something I have never done in 20 years. However, the toe area is stretching out with wear, and as a result they are not as hot. Bottom line is this is a problem that will pass. I studied these shoes and reviews for a year before buying them. Some say they are hard to get used to but I disagree. I have had no balance issues. They just feel different, but comfortable, and give a good stretch in the back of the legs and make me stand up straighter. The soles are extremely bouncy. The shoes look good on and add an inch or two of height, which is a good thing for me, as I am only 5 feet tall. If you wear these shoes, get ready for strangers to ask questions about them. I recommend these shoes, but it took about 3 days of wearing them to stretch out the toes and for my feet to get used to the feel.”
