After receiving this product, I wore them for the first time, and my feet hurt on top around the laces. The shoe felt tight, and even though this was my correct size, I thought that maybe it was just a matter of breaking them in, but after the second time wearing them, they were still hurting my feet. Now, I am trying to figure out a way to stretch the top of the shoe if possible, because I really like the style, but not the fit so much.
