The size 41 I got doesn't fit even someone who wears a 44!! It's as big as a tile (as you can see in the photo if that helps a bit). Without the slightest exaggeration, they are huge and in no way correspond to the dimensions of a 41... As soon as I opened the box, at first glance before even trying them on, I thought there had been a mistake with the size... I tried to put them on and walk in them but I couldn't even take a single step as they kept coming off because they were enormous!!! Also, I don't know if they are defective or if that's how the laces are supposed to be or if I'm supposed to undo them, but they look like they've been cut without an end where you tie them and they're also sewn onto the inside of the shoe so you can't even tighten or adjust them as you want... I ordered and received on the same date the same GUESS ELBA in another color from another store and those shoes fit me and also have normal laces with a proper end and obviously not sewn in!! I've had times when I needed half a size smaller or bigger depending on the fit of the shoe but I've never experienced anything like this in my life!!!!
