I had her take them off to inspect them and noticed that while they are both size 41, the left boot is wallowed out and swollen in size in the heel area. Maybe if it was $99. When I first opened it, however, it had a strange texture to it - almost wet-like - its hard to describe. Everything is great! Then push it/bang it as close into the mortar as it will go. This works great! The rubber toe cover has begun to split away on both shoes, likely due to cheap materials and adhesive. Had the bracelet a week , and it?s broken, very disappointed, I guess It wasnt tested properly before being released for resale. These are my favorite brand of shoes.
