Artisure Leather Women's Driving Mocs --- A surprising size story
The 1st pair I received (White Driving Mocs) had no inserts & one shoe was 1/2 size smaller than the other. But the 2nd pair is PERFECT. ---- I am taking off one star because they shipped the shoes to me loose in a plastic bag with no shoe box, which to me is very unprofessional. ----Anyway, I read all of the reviews first, and then I ordered a size 7 because that's my usual sneaker & flat shoes size. (I took a chance with Prime's free returns.) Okay, so they arrived & they seem to be very well-made, soft & supple leather, and they really DO look just as fabulous & chic as the crazy-expensive designer ones. So I tried them on. At first, I was unhappy because they felt too small. They felt tight & too short in length. My big toes were nearly touching the fronts of the shoes, and the backs were rubbing the back of my heals...Uh Oh. My 1st thought was to return them for a size 7.5 ---- But... since I had no plans to go anywhere that day, I decided to keep them on my feet & try to "break them in" at home. --- Guess what? By 9pm, my new white leather mocs had already stretched to fit my feet like gloves! No more rubbing on my heels, and my toes have plenty of wiggle room! In fact, they feel as comfy as slippers! LOL --- I also own 3 prs of size 7 'Eastland' driving mocs. In comparison, I can now say that 'Eastland' is cut longer & a bit wider than 'Artisure'. Yes, I wish these Artisure mocs had a bit more length & width to them.... but I'm glad that they are not "too" narrow, and that the supple leather stretched to fit me so quickly. I will wear the white ones a lot next spring & summer.UPDATE: I quickly bought these in BLACK, also. No shoe box again!, but really nice shoes. They fit like gloves within an hour after wearing. LOVE.If the seller will mail me 2 shoe boxes for my white & my black driving mocs, I will update & give 5 stars.By the way... I'm 5'5", 130 lbs. If my normal sneaker size (7) in these Artisure Mocs fits me on a day when I have swollen feet, then I'm pretty sure that YOU can order YOUR normal sneaker size too. --- I hope this review/story is helpful to my fellow Amazon shoppers. I highly recommend these beautiful quality Artisure Driving Mocs & I hope you'll love 'em too. Happy shopping! #WearYourMasks #GetVaxxed #StaySafe #ShopOnline #BuyingShoesIsGreatTherapy :)---PS: Dear Artisure: Please make these women's driving mocs a tiny bit longer from heal to toe, and don't make them narrower. (Make them 1/2 size longer) Thank You!AND PLEASE MAIL ME SOME SHOE BOXES FOR ALL OF MY PURCHASES FROM YOU !!!!!
