Wanted a broad fitting shoe, but it was not!
The item was described as being of broad fitting; it wasn’t.
The sole/tread of the shoe was broad but the material that formed the shoe was not; in fact the design of the shoe prevented proper movement of my foot making it too tight.
The design needs a re think.That is a shame because overall the shoe exuded quality.
Unfortunately I cannot order other shoes from inov8, which I would like to, for fear of a similar problem.
I hope inov8 look into this.
I shall add to this as inov-8 have replied below.
The size I ordered was half a size greater than I normally would order for a shoe of this kind.
The problem I see is that though you may have used a size 5 last, the design and type of material used does not flex enough to allow natural spread of the foot, it is pulled too tight in.
There is direct evidence to this because the tongue opening cannot open further, than the norm, by slackening the laces.
As I say the design needs a re think.
