Edouard Derby (Men)

I've been wanting to add some chukka boots to my collection and I saw that these were on sale so I grabbed them. I have never worn this brand before but I picked them up for about $560 and I see they're on sale now for about $747 or something like that. The shoes came while I was out of town but when I got back and I tried them on they were just too tight in the toe box so they run a bit narrow. They're a size 9 and 1/2 which is a 10 and 1/2 USA it says and it just did not work out. These shoes feel pretty comfortable but they were just too tight on my feet and I even tried them with thinner socks and it still was a bit too tight so I ended up taking them back because they're really expensive. Luckily I saw some of the boots that were on sale so I scooped those up so we'll try those out when they get here. I never understand how to rate these shoes because I'm sending them back because they're too narrow. Doesn't mean they're bad shoes though.
