Picked these up at the JL sale this spring. I've worn them about four times and have come to the inescapable conclusion that they're too small.

Lasted trees included

Only cosmetic wear on the sole

Using the new forum scientific term, would you say the wear amounts to 1/2 pidal?

1 pidal = wear equivalent to two hours use on carpeted surfaces; linear increases

Nice pickup for distinctive but what was the sizing issue if you tried them at the shop? Don't you like a snug fit at first?

I do prefer shoes to be a little snug at first and I don't like it when shoes stretch and wind up too loose but in this case I definitely erred too much on the tight side.
