I don't like them

I sized up, but still these are tight. They're also bulky, heavy, & stiff.

Unwearable Despite the Quality

I bought this pair of shoes at a Camper store in Berlin while I was visiting the city for a few days. What initially attracted me was the design — it is very appealing and clearly made with materials that feel high-quality and durable. However, already in the store it was noticeable that the shoes did not fit exactly as I expected. I tried on several sizes, and although none of them felt perfect, I decided to buy the pair anyway because I really liked the design and there was a good discount that day. I assumed that short fitting in a store is often not enough and that with longer wear I would better understand how to adjust the shoes for comfort. Unfortunately, after wearing them outside — even for short walks, such as going for groceries — my feet became extremely tired. While walking, my foot slips inside the shoe, and when walking at a faster pace (which I normally prefer), my foot literally “flies” inside the shoe. I double-checked the size by comparing the insole length with another pair of shoes I own, and they are identical, so this is definitely my correct size. I tried using anti-slip insoles and also adding an extra insole, but this did not solve the problem. Instead, my toes started pressing against the front of the shoe, causing even more discomfort. After yet another uncomfortable walk, I finally understood the issue when I compared this pair with another similar pair of shoes that I wear comfortably. The distance between the heel counter and the point where the lacing ends (where the laces are tied) is noticeably larger than normal. It is significantly longer than in my other shoes. Because of this, no matter how tightly I lace them, my foot is not properly secured and keeps moving inside the shoe. Unfortunately, there is no indication anywhere on the shoes or in the product description that this model is designed for people with a wider ankle. I could only discover this through actual use. As a result, I am now stuck with a pair of shoes that I most likely won’t be able to resell even for half of the price I paid. Returning them is also impossible under the store’s policy once the shoes have been worn outside, which makes the situation even more disappointing. I am very upset because I genuinely like the design of this model, and it is sad that such good materials were used for a shoe that is uncomfortable due to a design flaw. Either there was a mistake in the technical design of the shoe, or the marketing team failed to provide proper labeling and information about the fit.
