Thanley Pointed Toe Pump (Women)

I bought these pumps in the black suede because the kid leather wasn't available at the time. I typically wear between an 8 1/2 to 9 M in a pump depending on the brand. I found them to be somewhat narrow but were better after wearing them once. However, when the kid leather became available I ordered them. They too were narrow, but I felt like one of Cinderella's Step Sisters trying to get the right shoe (my bigger foot) on. I also noticed that on the shoe box there were two (2) RTS Stickers. Having once worked in retail I recall that means "Return To Stock". I suspect that they had been returned for the same reason. I have been a wearer of Vince Camuto for years, and never had this problem. In fact, my size 9 Vince Camuto Savilla kid leather pump (which I've had for years) has stretched so much that I am walking out of it. Which is why I'm afraid to size up to a 9 1/2 in this pump. But, needless to say I will be returning this size 9.
