The North Face Suzy Q-ZY Shoes - Slip-Ons, Recycled Materials (For Women)

I really wanted to love these shoes. But OUCH! I must admit, I pretty much go directly from Birkenstocks or Chacos into my Uggs for winter. The inbetween stuff is hard for me. I love slip ons - which is why I bought these. I wore them on day one and OUCH! My feet breathed a massive sigh of release when I took them off. Day 2, I didn't really want to - but I thought I should try to join the real world of shoe wearers. I couldn't wait to take them. I forsed my poor little feet to stay in these buggers all day. Day 3 - I just couldn't do it again. Day 5, feeling like a big old wimp I put these on again thinking I must be able to get through the breaking in period. Put them on. Instant off. My feet told me they were through with these shoes. If you look at the other reviews, nobody has kept these shoes. I had to keep them because in a moment of optimism I wore them in the garden and got them dirty. Around the same time, I bought another pair of "shoes". So in a test to see if I am just unsuitable for shoe wearing - I tried these others (a Keen tennis shoe, rubber toe, ties). The Keen shoe was just fine. So it's not just me - these CUTE shoes HURT!

I was so disappointed that I could not get my foot easily into the shoe. The bungee laces did not widen enough to get my foot in the shoe without forcing. Could not go thru this time after time so had to return them.

I bought these as a gift for my girlfriend, but unfortunately will have to return them due to they run small. Sierra didn't have the next size up so she will have to pick another pair. She loved the style but just couldn't get them to fit...
