A new pair of shoes should feel comfortable from the very first wear. 😊 While a snug fit is perfectly normal, your shoes should not cause pressure points or pain.
Why do my shoes feel tight?
There can be several reasons:
- 📏 The shoe size may be too small.
- 👣 The shoe width may not be suitable for your feet.
- 🦶 Your feet may need more room in the toe or forefoot area.
- 👟 The fit of this model may differ from other GIESSWEIN shoes you have worn before.
Will they become more comfortable over time?
Merino wool and knitted materials can adapt slightly to the shape of your feet with regular wear, which may improve comfort.
However, shoes that feel noticeably tight or cause pain are unlikely to become the right fit over time. We therefore recommend choosing a better-fitting size or width instead of hoping the shoes will stretch significantly.
What can I do?
- ✔️ Try the next larger shoe size.
- ✔️ Check whether a different shoe width (F, G or H) is more suitable.
- ✔️ If you're unsure, order two sizes or widths to compare the fit at home.
