Having wide feet getting shoes that fit is not an easy task. I needed some dress shoes for some events coming up and decided on Ascent Contest Black. I normally take a size 10 so I ordered a pair and they were sent overnight which was great. I tried them on for two mins and thought these are a bit tight. Emailed Frames Footwear and asked if I could possibly swap to the next size up. This was no problem at all, but then thought I should actually wear them around the house for a bit, and I did. Wow, they were actually quite comfortable and being leather will stretch in time. I have been to a couple of events now and the shoes are fantastic. Thank you Frames Footwear :)
