Trotters

Avrille

Women's

At first the shoes were stiff and felt constricting, but after 2 wears, they loosened up to an appropriate fit, I feel. So, the first impression was that the shoes ran narrow and felt stiff, but now they feel fine both in terms of fit and comfort. The support is moderate, which is adequate for this style of shoe. Also, there was/is a kind of ridge on the inside of the shoe where the tongue is attached to the top side of the shoe, that rubbed against my foot the first time I wore it. Obviously it is still there, but for some reason, I don't feel it now upon breaking in the shoe - so maybe the shoe expanded a bit. Plus, I am wearing socks with it. It is a sleek shoe so the socks must be on the thinner side though. I was mildly negative about the shoe at first based on above, but since wearing it a little more, now really like it! I'm glad I liked the style well enough to really give it a chance. It runs true to size as I am a true narrow width and it does not slip when I walk.

I am returning these shoes. I have a very narrow foot and need a good solid arch support and a solid footing! Normally, "narrow" shoes are too wide! This shoe was so uncomfortable and narrow with not enough toe room. My foot really felt squished! and on top of that the heel and sole narrowed, placing more weight on the center of the foot and giving a very unstable feeling to the shoe. Totally uncomfortable!! For Trotters? Not good.
