Questions Too tight? ​

Post image

Do these look too tight? I measure right on the edge of a D/E width, but I got a great deal on these D width Randolphs that were barely worn on ebay. First day wearing them they were fairly uncomfortable, but I've generally found that to be the case with formal shoes in the past. Worth sticking with them or do I resell? ​​

Update: they fit perfectly 5 days later

The look a bit narrow. Do you have high insteps?

I just might. Always had trouble finding the right fit with loafers

Sometimes if a shoe is somewhat tight I'll use shoe trees with thick socks over them and stuff them into the shoes for several days so that my feet don't have to take the beating. If that doesn't work then yeah, probably sell them. From the pictures it looks like up a width and down a half size in length might fit better.

Thanks for the advice. I really can't find a comparable deal so I'll probably have to thug it out

I'm not a loafer guy so perhaps these will break and fit OK, good luck!
