The last couple of times I went to buy shoes I noticed that my regular size was too small and had to go up a size.(like the other poster I noticed the same from others in online reviews) It has been difficult to find just plain black walking shoes in stores as most have all the bling and glitter and neon on them (don't have cc so can't order online). Then if you find the right thing they never have your size! Also it is hard to find a shoe that will stay glued together. The last pair of walking shoes I had came apart in 2 months and I did not wear them every day, they used to last 2 years! Hate paying $60 plus bucks for something that is so shoddily made. Got lucky and found a pair of my regular shoes on clearance at TJ Maxx for $25! Too bad they only had one pair. Now praying that they will stay glued a while! Oh, yeah, at first they squeaked, but I tried the old trick of baby powder poured in em and shaken around and poured out and that stopped the squeak!
