Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have purchased this same shoe 3 times over 6 years. The first was sourced in the US, the next from China and the current from India. Each shoe looks the same but the current shoe will not "break-in" as it is far stiffer and rubbing against the top part of the foot. Same size, same look, different fit, evidently. I will need to ask for a refund / return if I can't get comfortable. I am a rail commuter and walk 4 miles between destinations and I am lucky to get two years from any shoel My comments are in no way intended to disparage the countries of origin but each change of source can have unintended consequences. Don't ask me about Kangol hats........ I have a 9 yr old cap made in England that looks better than the 1 yr from China that has frayed.
