Malta Penny Loafer (Women)

I did not see that this item was non-returnable when I made the purchase. They are was too wide and big, even though they are the size I have always worn. I've worn Life Stride for decades, but have always bought them in a store. On line shoe buying is new for me, but I can not find a good selection in stores any more - usually just one or two styles of the Life Stride brand. I doubt I will purchase from the Life Stride site again, as I am now stuck with two pairs of shoes that I cannot wear.

I read reviews, made my decision based on those recommendations. Majority saying to large. I sized down half size as recommend. The shoe is still to long, but very Narrow. I now have a shoe stretcher in them, hoping to make them more comfortable across my toes. I have a narrow to medium foot. I’m disappointed because I have many pairs of shoes from Life Stride that I love and wear often. There needs to be a bit more consistency across the board in sizing. I live a long way from a mall. I prefer to buy online. I don’t want to continually deal with returns.
