anyone else own these shoes?

I don't own them, but I just tried a pair on the other day and they seemed loose also. All the Seychelles shoes seem big on me...I usually wear 6 1/2 to 7 and their 6's are even a little big on me. Maybe it's just that my foot isn't a good match with their styles. I sure wish it was, though - I love their shoes!!

I have them (in brown) and love them. I found them to run TTS -- I'm usually a 6 1/2 and 6 1/2 fit me perfectly.

i have only worn them twice, and the second time they kind of started pressing on my big toe nail and making it hurt. i chalked it up to either me needing to cut my nails (gross, i know) or the shoes just being new and stiff.

They hurt my toes too, and I cut my toenails really short to see if it helped. It did a little (or at least I imagined it did). Do y'all think they will loosen up at all? The leather just seems like it will stay stiff to me.

I did not size down. I am a 6 or 6.5 and my nordie's didn't have the 6, so I just got the 6.5 and put an insert in when I wear them without socks.

I have a pair of Seychelles also that I had problems with. The first several times I wore them I was in so much pain. I bought some of those little things, I can't remember the name, but they are made out of pantyhose and they just cover your toes. On the underside they have a little padding. I think those helped alot. After wearing them enough though they seem more comfortable. Maybe just give them a little more wear and they will feel better.

I just bought a pair of Seychelles wedges in my normal size 8 and they're a little big too. I'm wishing I had sized down. Maybe their shoes just run big. That's weird that they're hurting your big toe though. Can you get them to stretch just that part of the shoe, or is that what you already had them try?

It's a bummer they're not comfy for you. I think if they don't start feeling better soon, you should take them back, even though they're cute as hell. If they're not comfy, you won't wear them.

They are so cute, I would hate to have to return them (plus they are otherwise so comfy). They'll have to soften up a little bit. Or maybe our toes will adjust to the extra pressure.
