Women's Lace-Up Sneakers By XTI

I bought these based in the reviews (albeit not too many, but still good), and how the sneaker looked overall - definitely very appealing. However, I was disappointed when I received it and saw/felt how thin the material and overall structure if the shoe was. I had my qualms and even almost returned it immediately, but decided to give it a try. Sure enough, it was just as I suspected it would be. It was very loose as I walked and was just more soft and malleable than I wanted/needed it to be. Additionally, it started to give me blisters. I tried tk return but was told no (and it was sent back to me). I was certainly not happy with this purchase and found it challenging to really get a feel for it without trying it for some extended period of time. The material needed to be sturdier, and not as soft and flimsy as it was. The only real firm and functional part of it was the sole. Other than that, everything else left much to be desired.

Super lightweight. Love the slim, golden bar at the heel part, making the sneakers a bit stylish but not noisy. Sizes 6.5 and 7 fit me well. These sneakers are size 7 only. They are a bit large for my right foot, the larger one. But it can be easily managed. The cushion is very thin. I can feel the bottom when I walk. As long as you do not wear them for a long walk, it should be fine. I will keep the sneakers, because I really like the golden bar at the heel part.
