Alivia Pointed Toe Flat (Women)

I have owned a pair of these exact shoes for several years. It is VERY comfortable, flexible and provides a nice amount of pillowy cushion for the ball and heel of the feet. I've worn it down so much that I decided to purchase a new pair - same size - 5.5. BUT the new shoes (same model) are cut/assembled differently from years past. The sides seems short and too wide that bubbles out. Same pillowy cushion but runs large. It slips when I walk. Sadly these are going back to the store. :(
