“Narrow and too little cushion”

“I rarely get a shoe that doesn't fit because my foot is not wide or narrow -- it's between a 6-1/2 and 7 so size US 7 (or euro 37) are a sure thing for me. I was very excited about these shoes. I had been looking forward to getting a pair of Mephisto's for a long time because I had always read they were incredible, but they were also very expensive -- too far out of my comfort zone. Once I saw the price of these at STP I had to go for it! I couldn't wait til they arrived -- I envisioned the best fit ever and a new favorite shoe -- a real treat for my feet. Instead I was terribly disappointed -- these shoes are not special at all. They are not as well made as Josef Siebel or Born, or even Rogue. And they are not nearly as comfortable as those either. I kept trying to break them in because I thought they'd be great for a laid back sophisticated look but once I got them stretched wide enough (they are very stiff and narrow), I found that the padding was so poor under the balls of my feet that they would quickly ache. I ended up putting them in the [...] bin. I hope somebody loves them. I would have liked to.”
