Chaco Women's Zcloud X Sandals (Open Box)

I had tried them in a retail store and felt that the soles were quite comfortable and my feet and legs really felt well supported. But I did not walk in them!! Since the store did not have my size in the color I wanted, I ordered here on Amazon. I was so excited to finally own a pair of shoes I was going to be able to use for walking, yet shoes that had style and fun. I wore them for a half a day. I did not do any excessive walking at all!!! My feet are thin and I can easily put these shoes on (in other words it is not because my feet are too big) after wearing them for just a couple of hours, I started to feel that the lacing (esp that goes over from inside foot to the big toe) was starting to l rub and was causing my feet to swell and skin to break. I took them off thinking I give it a rest and try the next day. Next day the same thing occurred. On the third day after wearing them for a bit (hoping the shoes would finally “break” in) I noticed that my left foot was particularly painful at the same area. It is unfortunate as I love these shoes but I am not packing them for my trip coming up. They are simply too uncomfortable for a trekking trip.
