UPDATE!! Darn it. What to do with $90 boots that aren't going to work...

Also, I think Nordstrom Rack sometimes has “mfr mishaps” like this Natori bra I got last year. It’s the one the rose straps. At the regular store, the bra is perfect. The one from Rack has cups that are conical (and comical) and male pointy ta-tas. And the reviews mention it! (I found out after the fact.)

Nordstrom should take the boots back. If not, a regular Nordstrom (not sure about the Rack) will stretch the boots for free and have the equipment to do it. Good luck. I’d just try and return them.

Thank you for all your replies. This is a big deal to me because this is my HARD upper limit for how much I pay for shoes. I have like 8 pair total (which includes a few pair that are hand me downs!) but I do believe that paying more can be worth it. What I can’t afford is paying a lot for bad shoes that don’t get worn to death. I thought I had a sure thing and miscalculated which is frustrating. And now apparently I have (newly) fussy feet. So I appreciate being able to outline this here.

I think you should return them in this case. You wore them outside because you assumed they would fit correctly based on the other pair. I agree that sometimes NR gets imperfects or off-sizes so that may account for the issue.

My Danskos were from Amazon (on BF sale for about 10% off) unfortunately. Good to know at Nordstrom, though!

Yay! Good update!

Buy sell group?

Oh oops [emoji23]

Glad it worked out for her! I’m good with my thin sock option. :)
