Hi Phoebe! Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about your experience with our shoes. It sounds like they have caused significant discomfort, which is not what we want for our customers. Leather shoes can sometimes be stiff initially, and while they typically become more flexible with wear, this process can be uncomfortable. Here are a few tips that might help with breaking in the shoes: Wear Them in Short Intervals: Start by wearing the shoes for shorter periods at home to gradually allow the leather to soften and conform to your feet. Use Thick Socks: Wearing thick socks can help stretch the leather slightly and provide extra cushioning. Shoe Stretchers: Consider using shoe stretchers or taking the shoes to a professional cobbler for stretching. Moisturize the Leather: Using a leather conditioner can help soften the material, making it more pliable and comfortable. Kind regards, Vagabond Shoemakers

Hi Maria! Thank you for providing this feedback. Leather can sometimes feel stiff initially but often softens with wear. You might find that with continued use, the leather becomes more pliable and comfortable. Kind regards, Vagabond Shoemakers

Thank you for leaving a review. Despite putting a lot of effort into developing lasts (the shape of the shoe) that will generally fit all, it could be that a certain shoe does not feel comfortable to an individual as all feet are different. Hopefully you can find other styles that suits your feet better! // Vagabond Shoemakers
